Citation

[2022] HKCA 785
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACC204/2021

The application for leave to appeal was refused because the sentencing judge identified and applied the correct legal principles, sensibly assessed the quantitative and qualitative features of the counterfeit notes and the drug offence, properly addressed aggravating factors and previous convictions, applied the guilty plea discount and totality principle; the aggregate sentence was not manifestly excessive.

HKSAR v. LEUNG WAI HAN

Citation

HKSAR v. LEUNG WAI HAN
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACC102/2002

The Court held the sentencing judge did not err in principle: a two‑year starting point per counterfeit possession was justifiable given the statutory maximum and the ongoing harm, a 40% reduction for guilty plea and assistance was appropriate, the judge applied the totality principle to the aggregate sentence, and therefore the aggregate sentence for the first and second charges was not manifestly excessive.
