    HKSAR v. POON CHI KUEN
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCMA859/2002

    The appeal was dismissed because the appellant repeatedly breached probation, had a longstanding dissocial and emotionally unstable personality demonstrated by manipulative self-harm, and the YOAP and psychiatric assessments indicated he required long-term disciplined training and psychological counselling; probation had failed and imprisonment was inappropriate, so the Training Centre order was the correct disposition.
