The Court held that one-day sentences were manifestly inadequate for 18‑year‑old unlawful entrants found working; the appropriate sentence would be 15 months but, having regard to this review, the sentences were varied to 12 months imprisonment for the four adult respondents; the application in respect of the 16‑year‑old Tai Man‑bing was refused because his age and special circumstances justified the Magistrate's original approach. Time spent in detention awaiting reports and the fact of a prior magistrate review are not mitigating factors of weight.
