The magistrate's imposition of concurrent 4‑month custodial sentences was within lawful sentencing range because the offences were serious and prevalent, deterrence and protection of Hong Kong's trading reputation justified immediate custody, the appellant's prior convictions diminished mitigation, and there was no error in the magistrate's reasoning; therefore the appeal against sentence is dismissed.
