Citation

HKSAR v. LAM WAI BUN
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCMA1214/2002

The magistrate did not err in assessing the aggravating and mitigating features and there was no inducement by bank or police; however, given the appellant's personal circumstances, first conviction and delay, the 15-month starting point was excessive and should be reduced to a 12-month starting point leading to a substituted sentence of 8 months imprisonment.
