    The Court held the starting point of eight years was appropriate, the applicant received the full one‑third reduction for a guilty plea, there was no substantial mitigation beyond the plea, and the resulting sentence of five years and four months fell within the established guideline tariffs (Attorney‑General v. Ching Kwok-hung), so the appeal was dismissed and the sentence was upheld.
