CHAN WAN LUNG v. THE QUEEN
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACC694/1976

The appeal was allowed in part: the sentence of four months imprisonment for taking conveyance without authority was unduly heavy in light of the vehicle belonging to the appellant's father and was reduced to two months; the request to substitute fines was refused because a fine would likely be paid by a third party and is not an appropriate substitute; the remaining sentences and periods of disqualification were affirmed.
