    R. v. FONG WAI
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCMA505/1995

    The 15 month sentence was upheld because it lay within the guideline in R. v So Man King and there was no evidence of strong humanitarian grounds to justify reduction; the confiscation order was set aside because the Crown conceded the money could not lawfully have been confiscated following the appellant's acquittal and the sum of HK$1,040 was ordered returned to the appellant.
