The appeal is allowed in part: the court held that the magistrate was not shown to have ignored opportunity to consider means because defence counsel had opportunity and made no representations; however the fine of HK$100,000 was disproportionate to the admitted facts and the appellant's likely means and is therefore reduced to HK$25,000 payable within three months. The suspended 14‑day custodial sentence for 3 years is left unchanged. The appellant's application to admit fresh affidavit evidence is refused for lack of reasonable explanation for prior non-production.
