The Court allowed the appeal and reduced the global sentence to 4 years 11 months because, on a global view of the criminality (predicate offence of illegal gambling, amount effectively attributed by the judge of about HK$14.16m, and a 3 year 4 month duration), a starting point of five years imprisonment for the aggregate offending was appropriate; one month was deducted for delay and concurrency arranged so overall term equalled 4 years 11 months.
