The Court held that the judge had the power to order the defendant to contribute to prosecution costs even after a guilty plea and that public policy encouraging pleas did not bar such an order where funds were available; accordingly the trial judge's order that the defendant pay HK$15,000 towards prosecution costs was proper and would not be disturbed.
