    HKSAR v. A

    Citation
    [2021] HKCA 1789
    Court
    Court of Appeal

    Given the verified evidence (seven instances, six with substantial rewards) and absence of corroboration for other claimed assistance, and because any limited credit for one unpaid verified instance would be outweighed by an under-calculated starting point and aggravating factors (organiser role and prior drug trafficking conviction), no reduction was warranted and the sentence of 14 years was affirmed.
