    Court
    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACC909/1983

    Because the magistrate failed to obtain the mandatory Section 54A report before sentencing, the 9 month sentence was set aside and the case was remitted to the magistrate under Magistrates Ordinance s119(1)(d) to deal with sentence de novo after obtaining the required report; the High Court will not obtain the report itself.
