HCMA000063/1996 IN THE SUPREME COURT OF HONG KONG (Appellate Jurisdiction) MAGISTRACY APPEAL NO. 63 OF 1996 ----------------------
----------------------- Coram : Hon. Duffy, J. in Court Date of hearing : 2 February 1996 Date of handing down judgment : 7 February 1996 --------------------- J U D G M E N T -------------------- 1. This was an appeal against a conviction and sentence for a parking offence. Suffice it to say that so far as the conviction was concerned, I found no merit in the Appellant's submissions and dismissed the appeal. 2. However, so far as sentence was concerned the learned Magistrate gave no reasons for the imposition of a costs award and for increasing the penalty from $320.00 to $640.00. I felt in all the circumstances that the fixed penalty of $320.00 was adequate for this offence. I therefore allowed the appeal, removed the added penalty of $320.00 and the costs award. Representation: Mr W.S. Cheung, SACP, for Crown Appellant Lai Sau Ching in person
