    HCMA241/2019

    The appeal court found the trial judge erred in concluding the appellant’s driving concept was inherently "entirely wrong" or "extremely dangerous" on the evidence, and that a blanket order to retake all driving tests was disproportionate. The appropriate disposal was to quash the retest order, substitute an order that the appellant attend and complete a driving improvement course at his own expense, and to maintain the fine of HKD 2,000. The court therefore allowed the appeal in part on grounds that the retest order was not justified by the established facts and was manifestly excessive.
