SJ v Joshua Wong Chi Fung, Nathan Law Kwun Chung & Alex Chow Yong Kang

HK Court of Final Appeal, 6-Feb-2018

The appeal against the jail sentences imposed by the Court of Appeal succeeds. Magistrate June Cheung Ting Ngan's sentences of community service were not wrong in principle and not manifestly inadequate. They have already been served. The Court of Appeal can set sentencing guidelines but cannot retrospectively apply them. Paragraph 127 of the judgment rebukes certain comments of Court of Appeal VP Wally Yeung in his judgment.
