Citation

HKSAR v. Mok Key Wah
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCMA265/1998

Given the appellant's record and the seriousness of the offences the fines of HK$20,000 per count were appropriate and not manifestly excessive; however the Magistrate exceeded power by ordering fines paid out of bail without consent, so fines are upheld but the bail payment order is rescinded and bail reinstated with an order that the appellant pay the fines within three months of release.
