The court held that the total fine of HK$425,000 was excessive given the appellant's means, age and the scale of his business; the correct sentencing approach uses Schedule 8 guidelines and requires fines proportionate to the offender's ability to pay and the need for deterrence, and therefore substituted a total fine of HK$95,000 (individual adjustments specified).
