HKSAR v. RODRIGUEZ ALFONSO GIOVANNI
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACC346/2001

Given the aggravated facts (planned group robbery, use of a knife, injuries, large value of property) a nine-year starting point was appropriate; the three-month reduction applied by the trial judge based on Rohrer was mistaken doctrine but did not render the overall sentence wrong; the appeal against sentence is dismissed.

Citation

NGUYEN VAN-DANG and Another v. R.
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACC108/1994

The Court refused leave because the concurrent 8‑year sentences were within established sentencing guidelines (Mo Kwong Sang), properly reflected the gravity and aggravating features of multiple violent robberies against vulnerable detainees, and there was no mitigation (no guilty plea, no remorse) to warrant reduction.
