    Citation
    HKSAR v. NG SHIP PING
    Court
    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACC364/2004

    The Court upheld the sentencing judge's exercise of discretion: loss of long service payment was properly disregarded as mitigation given the applicant's prolonged and deliberate breach of trust; the discounts for guilty plea and time in custody abroad were within judicial discretion and not improperly generous given the applicant's conduct including efforts to avoid extradition; the total sentence of two years and two months is not manifestly excessive and leave to appeal is dismissed.
