HKSAR v. WONG KAM CHIU
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCMA1155/2003

The magistrate failed properly to consider the YOAP report and the appellant's profile against the R v Brown criteria; because the panel recommended Community Service and the appellant's circumstances fitted those criteria, the appellate court substituted the custodial sentence with a Community Service Order of 120 hours.

Citation

HKSAR v. WONG CHUN CHEONG
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCMA779/2000

The Court held the Magistrate did not err: having regard to the appellant's prior record, breaches of probation, triad association, detailed reports and the Young Offender Assessment Panel recommendation, the statutory test under s4 was met and a Training Centre Order was appropriate; adult authorities cited were inapplicable, therefore the appeal was dismissed.
