Magistrate failed to demonstrate consideration of s.109A CPO in sentencing a 16‑year‑old; given probation and prison reports recommending institutional training and that the offences, though serious, arose from the same act, the appropriate disposal is detention in a training centre under s.4 Training Centre Ordinance rather than the imposed 18 months' imprisonment with a separate police supervision order; appeal allowed to substitute training centre detention.
