HKSAR v. SHARMA NIPUN

Citation

HKSAR v. SHARMA NIPUN
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACC41/2017

The application for leave to appeal was refused because the judge’s reference to 'breach of trust' was properly read in a wider sense as abuse of the documentary credit/loan system rather than a classic breach of trust, and the resulting sentence of 44 months (after plea) was not manifestly excessive or wrong in principle given the scale, duration and risk of the fraud.
