Corrigendum (2)

________________________

Please note the following correction to the Reasons for Judgment handed down by the Hon Madam Justice Poon of the Court of Appeal in this case on 27 November 2023:

Lines I to N, paragraph 123, page 43 should read 「法庭如果在D1嚴重影響司法公正的情況下，再酌情繞過法例的前設給予他本來不應獲得的扣減，與法律精神不符；不但不能體現案例所指，此類案件必須嚴懲判處長時間的監禁以懲處及阻嚇意圖動搖法治根基的行為，反而等同向社會大眾發出，干犯這類嚴重罪行的被告仍可在刑期上享有法庭酌情處理的錯誤訊息。」 [1]
