HKSAR v. Wong Kin-ping

Read the full judgment text of HCMA 602/1997 on BabelCite. This High Court CFI judgment was delivered on 14 August 1997.

1. The magistrate imposed a sentence of 15 months. He took into account your previous record, which I note is one for illegal remaining and also theft in 1993. There were no matters put forward in mitigation that led the magistrate to consider reducing the term. I consider the sentence to be proper and the sentence remains.
