The appeal court held the magistrate erred in principle by relying on Li Cheung Lai for the possession count and by ordering part consecutive sentences; applying the correct authorities (notably Su Man King and Tran Viet Thanh) the possession offence warranted 15 months (after plea discounting principles considered) and the two sentences should run concurrently, resulting in a total custodial term of 15 months; the court relied on its statutory power under Cap.227 s119 to substitute the sentence.
