The appeal is dismissed because the magistrate reasonably imposed the maximum basic fine (HK$50,000) plus a daily fine (HK$400) for repeated unlicensed operation; the periods were not sufficiently continuous to engage the totality principle and the magistrate was entitled to refuse a guilty‑plea discount in the circumstances where previous fines had failed to deter the offender.
