1. This is an application for leave to appeal against sentence. The applicant pleaded guilty to an unarmed robbery in respect of which the judge took a starting point of five years’ imprisonment. That starting point, as Mr Cheung points out, is appropriate for robbery with a weapon; and my attention has been drawn to a decision in a case called Lam Ka-hung Cr App No. 294 of 2003 which further indicates that the starting point adopted by the judge in this particular case ought to be examined.
