Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACC42/2024

The Court refused the applicant's challenge to the total effective sentence, concluding the 74‑month aggregate sentence was not manifestly excessive and the sentencing judge did not err in ordering the relevant sentences to run consecutively; however the Court granted leave to appeal only on the issue of the length of the driving disqualification (reason two).

HKSAR v. POON CHI KEUNG

Citation

[2025] HKCA 328
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACC105/2024

Leave to appeal against sentence was granted because it was reasonably arguable that the starting point and resulting sentence for the drug driving count was manifestly excessive and that the totality of the overall sentence may be excessive; the factual finding that the consumed drug was not referable to the trafficked drug supported treating the offences as separate but did not preclude review of totality.
