Court of Appeal

Case number

CACC453/1999

The Court held the trial judge properly applied appellate authorities on conversion and narcotic-content-based sentencing (Cheng Yeung and Lau Tak-ming), that the Bill of Rights did not affect that approach, and that the concurrent sentences imposed were within the correct tariff and therefore appropriate.

• Possession of dangerous drugs for purpose of unlawful trafficking
• Notional conversion of drug grades for sentencing
• Sentencing guidelines and tariffs
• Relevance of bill of rights to sentencing
