The Court held that the Wong Mok-din guideline applies to all offences under s.17I(1) regardless of the category of the employee and rejected the Tai Wai-hung approach of grading starting points by employee classification; given the respondent's recklessness and the number of employees the appropriate starting point was at least 20 months, but because of mitigation and time already served the Court substituted concurrent sentences of 13 months with the unserved balance suspended for two years, finding the magistrate erred in principle in starting at six months and imposing a 50% plea discount.
