J U D G M E N T
1. This was an appeal against a sentence of 12 months for remaining in Hong Kong without the authority of the Director of Immigration and possession of a forged travel document. The sentence was a proper sentence but as it has been discovered, since the sentence was passed, that the Appellant is pregnant, I allowed the appeal so that she could be released immediately.
Representation:
Mr Prakash Daryanani, C.C., for Crown
Mr Eric Kwok (D.L.A.) for Appellant
