CACC000535/2001 CACC 535/2001 IN THE HIGH COURT OF THE HONG KONG SPECIAL ADMINISTRATIVE REGION COURT OF APPEAL CRIMINAL APPEAL NO. 535 OF 2001 (ON APPEAL FROM DCCC 864 OF 2001) ______________
______________ Coram: Hon Mayo VP in Court Date of Hearing: 21 March 2002 Date of Judgment: 21 March 2002 _____________ J U D G M E N T _____________ 1.These offences were very serious offences. They involved a major scam. Banks have lost approximately $750,000.00 and there was a potential for much greater losses. The sentences imposed were if anything on the light side. There is no merit in this application and it is dismissed. 2.The other matter which I have to do is to advise the applicant that at the moment he was just applying for leave. He can, even though leave has been refused, still proceed with an application to the Court of Appeal sitting with three judges. I need to warn the applicant that if he does so and if the Court of Appeal is of the view that the application is not meritorious, it is likely that they would make an order that part of the sentence which the applicant served would not count towards the sentence altogether.
