The Court held that a 45% discount for assistance without testifying was appropriate in the circumstances and that the 18‑month enhancement was excessive; substituting a 13‑month enhancement for the aggravating factor of having come to Hong Kong to commit the offence and recalculating the sentence from the starting point produced a lawful sentence of 10 years and 11 months imprisonment, which replaced the judge's sentence of 11 years and 1 month.
