The Court found the judge erred in treating importation into Hong Kong as an aggravating factor when the evidence was unclear; a starting point of 12 years was appropriate for possession of a working firearm with ammunition in these circumstances; applying the usual one-third discount for the guilty plea, the correct sentence is 8 years imprisonment, and the appellant's claim of ignorance about the firearm was rejected as not credible.
