The appellate court held the magistrate did not err in principle or exercise of discretion. The magistrate was entitled to rely on the prosecution summary recording speed at 82 km/h, to treat the companies persistent non-response as deliberate concealment in the circumstances, and to adopt a 10x starting multiplier under Yeung. The resulting fine of HKD 6,000 reduced by one-third to HKD 4,000 was not manifestly excessive and the appeal was dismissed.
