Citation

[2024] HKCFI 1891
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCMA440/2023

The appeal was dismissed because, on re-hearing of all evidence and reports, the offences were found sufficiently serious and dangerous, the appellant had breached a community service order and performed poorly on it, and probation and training centre reports recommended detention in a training centre; a training centre order therefore best balanced rehabilitation and public interest and was not manifestly excessive.
