The defendant committed contempt by publishing personal data in breach of the Police Doxxing Injunction and by encouraging dissemination; however, balancing aggravating and mitigating factors (brief duration of the post and removal, youth, low culpability relative to most serious cases, financial hardship and delay in prosecution) warranted a custodial sentence of 21 days which should be suspended for 12 months, together with an order to pay a contribution to the SJ's costs of HK$30,000.
