Applying a re‑hearing standard and the established sentencing principles, the court found the magistrate properly assessed the gravity (planned theft of 87 resaleable items worth HK$6,905), the appellant's 11 similar prior convictions and his asylum claimant status; a 12‑month starting point with a 20% uplift for repeat offending and reduction to 8 months for plea was not excessive. Appeal dismissed.
