    THE QUEEN v. CHAN CHI WAI
    Court
    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACC46/1991

    Given the nature of the offences, the applicant's prior record and triad association, and the need to protect the community, the consecutive custodial sentences totalling 6.5 years were not excessive and the applications for leave to appeal were properly dismissed; time was extended so both sentences could be considered together.

    JIM CHI HUNG v. THE QUEEN

    Citation
    JIM CHI HUNG v. THE QUEEN
    Court
    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACC198/1973

    The court dismissed the appeal, finding that the magistrate reasonably concluded that a custodial sentence was warranted because the offence involved violence, the appellant led younger offenders, had triad affiliation and showed lack of remorse, and there was no basis for appellate interference.
