F F
(4) 上訴法庭指:
G G
H 「29. 本庭需考慮的是有關法例的目的及在香港目前情況該 H
法例的作用。本庭亦需考慮在上述基礎下,管有偽造或他人
I 身份證的適當判刑。 I
30. 中央政府和香港特區政府目前實施的政策,容許大量的
J J
國內人士以雙程證來港旅遊探親。由於雙程證的審批較寬
鬆,數額亦較多,合法來港的國內居民大增而非法入境的國
K 內人士則相應遞減。入境事務處的統計數字顯示 2000 年至 K
2004 年間,持不同證件訪港的國內旅客人數由 300 多萬激
L 增至 1,200 多萬,而被拘捕的非法入境者數字則由 8,500 人 L
減至不足 3,000 人。2002 年至 2004 年間合法訪港旅客因管
M
有偽造身份證而被定罪的人數則增加近 8 倍。 M
31. 當然持雙程證來港旅遊探親的國內人士,不能在香港工
N 作,否則會違反留港條件,屬犯法行為。但事實上,國內人 N
士非法在香港工作的情況十分普遍。雖然入境處有大力宣傳
O 及採取各種不同方法打擊非法勞工,但收效不大。 O
32. 為了解決非法勞工問題,特區政府制定政策,其一是要
P P
求僱主在僱用員工時,必需確保員工持有香港非永久居民身
份證。希望避免上述政策的約束及能在香港非法受僱的人士
Q 都設法取得偽造或他人身份證,以方便在香港非法工作。 Q
R 33. 香港非法勞工問題嚴重,不但剝奪了部份本地居民的就 R
業機會,大幅度提升失業率,亦會壓低工資,特別是低下層
勞工的工資,令他們因入不敷出,而可能要依賴公援。上述
S S
情況不但對政府財赤造成壓力,更導致貧富懸殊和其衍生的
種種社會問題。
T T
U U
V V
- 10 -
A A
B 34. 上述情況必須正視,而打擊非法勞工是有需要及有迫切 B
性的。對管有偽造或他人身份證的罪行,法庭須判處有足夠
C 阻嚇力的刑罰。 C
D
35. 一般情況,身份證明文件,不可能是玩物,亦不具收藏 D
價值。因此管有偽造或他人身份證的人士,不論是合法或非
法在香港,他們目的都是為了掩飾真正身份,以方便他們在
E E
香港非法工作。
F 36. 在上述情況下管有偽造或他人身份證的人士是否合法在 F
香港逗留和其犯罪行為的嚴重性沒有關係。當然非法在香港
G
逗留本身亦是罪行,犯案者亦會受到適當懲罰。 G
37. 陳文武案的判決是在 2000 年作出,當時主要打擊對象是
H 非法入境或逾期居留人士,但目前法庭需正視的是非法勞 H
工,特別是持雙程證來港的非法勞工。
I I
38. 本庭認為陳文武案的判決不能適當反映目前香港面對的
非法勞工問題和其衍生的其他社會問題。四個月的判刑,對
J J
合法來港,但管有偽造或他人身份證以方便在香港非法工作
的人士不具足夠阻嚇力。本庭亦認為合法留港人士管有和確
K 實使用偽造或他人身份證找尋工作,二者刑期的差額不應為 K
數倍之多。
L L
39. 為了更有效打擊非法勞工,保障本地工人的工作機會和
避免低下層勞工的工資被過份壓低,法庭對管有偽造或他人
M M
身份證的罪行要以較嚴勵的方法處理,否則失業,貧富懸殊
的情況不會變好,赤貧家庭數目會增加而衍生的社會問題亦
N N
會日趨嚴重。
O 40. 本庭認為管有偽造或他人身份證,即使犯案者是合法在 O
香港,一般而言認罪後的量刑基準應定為 12 個月監禁以反
P
映該類罪行的嚴重性,和達到阻嚇目的。 P
41. 假若犯案者,確有出示或利用偽造或他人身份證以掩飾
Q 其身份,去非法工作或非法延展其在香港逗留的期限,則認 Q
罪後的量刑基準更應定為 15 個月監禁。
R R
42. 當然上述量刑只對一般案件適用。如個別被告人有特殊
減刑因素,主審法官需根據個別情況,行使酌情權判處被告
S S
人適當的刑期。」

D D
“2. Possession of forged identity card or an identity card
belonging to another person
E E
(a) Although So Man-king did not specifically address the
F sentence for possession of identity card which is forged or F
belonging to another, it is clear from the discussion that
possession of the identity card carries the same criminality as the
G other three offences. As can been seen from the decision of this G
Court in HKSAR v. Wong Ping (CACC 86/2005), which will be
discussed later, Chan and Tam had been relied upon by the
H H
Courts as the basis for ordering a 15-month sentence for
possession of a forged identity card which could be enhanced if
I the offender made use of the card to obtain some particular I
benefit.
J J
(b) In HKSAR and Li Chang Li [2004–2005] HKCLRT 193,
this Court dealing with the case of someone coming legally to
K Hong Kong and charged with possession of an identity card held K
that in the absence of exceptional circumstances a sentence of
12 months’ imprisonment should be imposed. If the offender
L has actually produced or used a forged identity card or identity L
card belonging to another in order to conceal his identity, work
M
illegally or unlawfully further his stay in Hong Kong, then the M
starting point upon a plea of guilty should be 15 months’
imprisonment.
N N
3. Concurrent or consecutive sentence
(1) R v Chan Wun Sang adopted a concurrent sentence for using
O O
a forged identity card and unlawfully remaining.
(2) In HKSAR v Wong Ping, this Court was concerned with an
P appellant who pleaded guilty to four offences and was sentenced P
to a total of 65 months’ imprisonment, namely:
Q (a) First charge (robbery): 40 months. Q
(b) Second charge (using an identity card relating to another
R person): 6 months. R
(c) Third charge (possession of offensive weapon): 4 months.
(d) Fourth charge (unlawfully remaining): 15 months.
S S
The sentences were to be served consecutively.
T T
U U
V V
- 16 -
A A
B (3) The offences were discovered when the appellant was B
arrested after he produced an identity card belonging to another
C as proof of his identity. C
(4) This Court reduced the total sentence by six months. This
D was achieved by ordering the 6-month sentence on possession D
of identity card to run concurrently with the 15-month sentence
E
on unlawfully remaining. This Court agreed that except where E
there are special circumstances the sentences for these two
offences would normally be concurrent…
F F
Our view
G G
17. It is clear that a sentence of 15 months’ imprisonment for
possession of a forged identity card by an illegal immigrant is
H consistent with the long-established authorities. Further as H
apparent from Chan Wun Sang and Wong Ping this Court has
consistently imposed a concurrent sentence for forged identity
I card offence and unlawfully remaining in Hong Kong in the I
absence of exceptional circumstances. The rationale, as stated
J in So Man-king, is that the substantial element in sentencing for J
the offences is the unlawful presence in Hong Kong. The mere
production of the identity card when an illegal immigrant was
K intercepted was not regarded as a special feature which justifies K
a departure from the concurrent sentence approach. This line of
authorities is binding on this Court and on the Court of First
L L
Instance.
M 18. In 香港特別行政區 訴 陳堂 (unrep., HCMA 944/2009), the M
appellant pleaded guilty to possession of false identity card and
unlawfully remaining. A 15-month sentence was imposed for
N N
each offence and five months of the second sentence was to be
served consecutively to the first, making a total of 20 months’
O imprisonment. Deputy High Court Judge Andrew Chan allowed O
the appeal and reduced the total sentence to 18 months’
imprisonment. He ordered the first sentence to be altered to 12
P months and three months of which was to be served P
consecutively to the second sentence of 18 months. The Judge
Q distinguished Wong Ping and purported to apply Li Chang Li. Q
19. The Deputy Judge was of the view that this Court in Li
R Chang Li provided a guideline for a 12-month sentence and it R
explicitly stated that to remain in Hong Kong unlawfully is an
offence in itself for which the offender should receive an
S S
appropriate sentence. He further observed that when a person
came to Hong Kong lawfully and in possession of a forged
T identity card, he commits an offence. If his sentence is the same T
as another person who came to Hong Kong unlawfully and in
U U
V V
- 17 -
A A
B possession of a forged identity card, the former may find the B
sentence unjust.
C C
20. With respect to Judge Chan his approach was wrong and
should not be followed. Li Chang Li is not concerned with the
D tariff of sentence for an illegal immigrant in possession of a D
forged identity card or with the concurrent/consecutive method
E
of sentencing. The discussion in that case was confined to the E
disparity in sentences imposed in the lower courts of someone
who came to Hong Kong legally and in possession of a forged
F identity card or an identity card belonging to another person for F
the purpose of using the card to seek employment in Hong Kong.
G G
22. HKSAR v Li Chang Li did not overrule any previous
decisions that had adopted a sentence of 15 months’
H imprisonment on an illegal immigrant in possession of a forged H
identity card. In our view the two lines of authorities should
remain distinct. The underlining criminality of an illegal
I immigrant in possession of a forged identity card is his unlawful I
presence in Hong Kong. This is the mischief that the deterrent
J sentence of 15 months’ imprisonment is aimed at. The forged J
identity card must primarily be for the purpose of ensuring his
illegal status in Hong Kong would not be so easily detected. If
K he makes use of the card for a benefit, such as seeking K
employment, then the 15-month sentence can be adjusted
upwards.
L L
23. The enhancement provides a degree of flexibility in arriving
M at the appropriate sentence even if the two sentences remain M
concurrent. Wong Ping did not state categorically that there
must be concurrent sentences. Whether in a case there should
N be consecutive sentences must be fact specific. By giving a N
proper adjustment to the standard sentences, we do not envisage
O in a normal situation that there is a real need to use a partially O
consecutive sentence approach. …”

D D
扣減認罪折扣後,下調至 6 個月,與「入屋犯法」的 2 年刑期全部分
E E
期執行。申請人不服判刑,提出上訴。上訴法庭指:
F F
“11. It has been pointed out by the respondent that there is no
G tariff laid down for overstaying offences and that the range is G
wide from a fine (at level 5) to a term of imprisonment up to 2
years.
H H
12. It has also been pointed out to us that the taking up of
I employment during the period of the overstay is considered by I
these courts to be an aggravating factor.
J 13. We agree with those views. It is the length of the overstay J
that the court looks at and whether employment was taken up
K during the period of the overstay which is relevant to K
sentence. …
L 15. In three of the cases to which we were referred by both L
counsel, there were imposed sentences of 6 months for
overstaying. First of these cases is the case of Tseung Sau Tao,
M M
HCMA No.955 of 1992, unreported, where the appellant
overstayed for a period of 4 years and 6 months. The second case
N where a six-month sentence was imposed was the case of N
Bhattarai, HCMA No.606 of 1996, where the appellant had
overstayed for 11 months and had worked during the period of
O O
overstay. P. Chan J (as he then was) commented in that case that
6 months was not manifestly excessive and not wrong in
P principle in dismissing the appeal. However in Bhattarai's case, P
the learned judge there appears to have focused on the count of
possession of another's identity card rather than on the
Q overstaying count nor were any previously decisions cited to Q
support his comments. In the third case where a six-month
R sentence was imposed, that is the case Iqbal Zahid, HCMA R
560/1996, unreported, there Stock J (as he then was) reduced the
six-month sentence to 3 months on the grounds that the appellant
S in that case had surrendered himself. In the judgment he had S
commented that 6 months was on the high side but not excessive.
However, it is noted that in that case the appellant there had one
T T
previous conviction for overstaying. The period of the
overstaying in that case was a period of 3 years.

A A
B B
16. We were satisfied that in each of those three cases where 6
C month sentences were imposed for overstaying, there are C
distinguishing features from the present case.
D 17. In eight other cases which were cited or referred to this court D
by both counsel, the sentences for the overstaying ranged from
E
28 days to 3 months. E
18. In all the circumstances and after careful consideration of the
F length of sentences imposed from all the cases referred to us, we F
are of the view that there should be some consistency and the
proper starting point which should have been adopted here is one
G G
of 4½ months instead of the 9 months used by the learned judge
below. On that basis, and giving to the applicant the full one-
H third discount for the plea of guilty this would result in a H
sentence of 3 months for the overstaying count.”

15. 大律師續指,警方並非於被告人身上檢獲涉案的 3 張偽

18. 於 HKSAR v Ngai Yiu Ching (倪耀偵) [2011] 6 HKC 238,
P P
上訴法庭指:
Q Q
“13. When a judge is faced with the task of sentencing for
R R
multiple offences he is required as an initial step to identify the
appropriate sentence for each offence and as the final step to
S achieve a total sentence appropriate to the culpability of the S
offender. The issue with which this appeal is concerned is the
decision that the judge faced whether to order any of the
T sentences for the offences to run concurrently with each other or T
to be served consecutively.
U U
V V
- 21 -
A A
B B
14. The question whether to order concurrent or consecutive
C sentences can arise in many different scenarios. An offender C
may be charged in respect of a number of different, or similar,
offences committed on wholly separate occasions over a period
D of time or with a number of different offences committed in the D
course of one episode of criminal activity. This case is
E
concerned with the latter situation. E
15. In the case of several offences committed in the course of a
F single episode, the prosecuting authorities might choose to F
proffer only one charge, where one charge embraces all the
criminal conduct reflected by the evidence or, as in the present
G G
instance, separate charges for each criminal act.
H 16. If it chooses the former course, the instances of proved H
conduct embraced by the single charge but which could have
been the subject of separate charges are taken into account in
I deciding what penalty reflects the true overall criminality.. I
J 17. But when the prosecuting authority elects the latter course, J
namely, to charge two or more offences arising from an episode
of criminal activity, the objective is still the same; that is to say,
K the ultimate overall sentence must still reflect the overall and K
true culpability, although the sentencing judge must take care,
first, to pass a sentence for each individual offence that is
L L
appropriate to that offence and the circumstances of its
commission and, second, not to punish the offender twice for the
M same conduct. M
18. It was in an attempt to safeguard fairness to the offender by
N ensuring that he was not punished twice for the same conduct N
that the courts developed the "one transaction" rule. In essence,
O this rule said that if the number of offences have been charged O
arising from the one transaction or course of criminal conduct,
then concurrent sentences should be imposed.
P P
19. The one transaction rule was not developed as an inflexible
Q
rule of law. It was never intended as anything more than a Q
practical rule of thumb to guide judges in the exercise of the
power to impose consecutive sentences so that the final sentence
R was not one that was unfair to an offender. R
20. However, once stated, this practical working rule tended to
S S
develop a life of its own and has led to some difficulty in its
application. Judicial dicta explained what was meant by "one
T course of criminal conduct" and exceptions to the rule T
developed… All of this, understandably enough, became
material for advocates who sought to argue that the multiple
U U
V V
- 22 -
A A
B offences of which their client had been convicted were part of B
one transaction and that it inevitably followed that the correct
C sentence was one where all the sentences were concurrent. C
21. There are several problems associated with this line of
D reasoning. First it runs the risk of elevating a practical working D
rule to a rule of law, thereby providing an opportunity to argue
E
that departure from it inevitably meant that the sentence imposed E
on the client was excessive. Secondly, it tends to obscure the
real point which is not whether two or more offences are
F committed at about the same time, but whether the second or F
other further offences add to the culpability or criminality of the
first. Thirdly, it ignores the reality that whatever sentence is
G G
arrived at after application of the rule is still subject to the
totality principle.
H H
22. The importance of the totality principle cannot be overstated.
It is there to ensure not only fairness to the offender, in the sense
I that he is not punished twice for the same offence and, further, I
that the sentence is not an unduly crushing punishment but it is
J also a tool by which to ensure that “the overall effect of the J
sentences is sufficient having regard to the usual principles of
deterrence, rehabilitation and denunciation.”: R v K M [2004]
K NSWCCA 65 at paragraph 55. K
23. The emphasis therefore should be on a reflection in the
L L
sentence of true culpability disclosed by the offences of which
the accused has been convicted. This is an approach which this
M court has consistently adopted in recent times, for example in M
HKSAR v Kwok Shui To [2006] 2 HKC 421… HKSAR v Iu Wai
Shun [2008] 1 HKC 79. It is likely to be a more effective
N approach in reflecting an offender’s overall culpability than one N
which becomes overly concerned with the one transaction rule,
O although in the case of more than one offence, the court must O
guard carefully against punishing twice for the same act. If the
second offence which takes place in the course of the suggested
P single episode adds to the culpability of the first offence, it will P
normally follow that the sentence for the second offence will run
Q
wholly or partially consecutive to that for the first; to what Q
extent, if at all, will depend upon an assessment of the totality
appropriate for the conduct as a whole. As with most sentencing
R exercises, the approach is an art, sensitive to the individual R
circumstances of the case and the offender.”
S S
19. 本案中,控方原可選擇就每一張偽造身份證獨立提控(即
T T
3 項獨立的「管有偽造身份證」控罪),而每項控罪的量刑基準均為
U U
V V
- 23 -
A A
B B
18 個月監禁。之後,法庭須根據總刑期原則來考慮該 3 項控罪的判
C 刑。就算控方選擇以一項控罪涵括 3 張偽造身份證,判刑原則不變; C
判刑時法庭必須考慮整體案情及罪責。
D D
E E
20. 明顯地,被告人管有 3 張偽造身份證比只管有 1 張偽造

“2. Possession of forged identity card or an identity card
belonging to another person
E E
(a) Although So Man-king did not specifically address the
F sentence for possession of identity card which is forged or F
belonging to another, it is clear from the discussion that
possession of the identity card carries the same criminality as the
G other three offences. As can been seen from the decision of this G
Court in HKSAR v. Wong Ping (CACC 86/2005), which will be
discussed later, Chan and Tam had been relied upon by the
H H
Courts as the basis for ordering a 15-month sentence for
possession of a forged identity card which could be enhanced if
I the offender made use of the card to obtain some particular I
benefit.
J J
(b) In HKSAR and Li Chang Li [2004–2005] HKCLRT 193,
this Court dealing with the case of someone coming legally to
K Hong Kong and charged with possession of an identity card held K
that in the absence of exceptional circumstances a sentence of
12 months’ imprisonment should be imposed. If the offender
L has actually produced or used a forged identity card or identity L
card belonging to another in order to conceal his identity, work
M
illegally or unlawfully further his stay in Hong Kong, then the M
starting point upon a plea of guilty should be 15 months’
imprisonment.
N N
3. Concurrent or consecutive sentence
(1) R v Chan Wun Sang adopted a concurrent sentence for using
O O
a forged identity card and unlawfully remaining.
(2) In HKSAR v Wong Ping, this Court was concerned with an
P appellant who pleaded guilty to four offences and was sentenced P
to a total of 65 months’ imprisonment, namely:
Q (a) First charge (robbery): 40 months. Q
(b) Second charge (using an identity card relating to another
R person): 6 months. R
(c) Third charge (possession of offensive weapon): 4 months.
(d) Fourth charge (unlawfully remaining): 15 months.
S S
The sentences were to be served consecutively.
T T
U U
V V
- 16 -
A A
B (3) The offences were discovered when the appellant was B
arrested after he produced an identity card belonging to another
C as proof of his identity. C
(4) This Court reduced the total sentence by six months. This
D was achieved by ordering the 6-month sentence on possession D
of identity card to run concurrently with the 15-month sentence
E
on unlawfully remaining. This Court agreed that except where E
there are special circumstances the sentences for these two
offences would normally be concurrent…
F F
Our view
G G
17. It is clear that a sentence of 15 months’ imprisonment for
possession of a forged identity card by an illegal immigrant is
H consistent with the long-established authorities. Further as H
apparent from Chan Wun Sang and Wong Ping this Court has
consistently imposed a concurrent sentence for forged identity
I card offence and unlawfully remaining in Hong Kong in the I
absence of exceptional circumstances. The rationale, as stated
J in So Man-king, is that the substantial element in sentencing for J
the offences is the unlawful presence in Hong Kong. The mere
production of the identity card when an illegal immigrant was
K intercepted was not regarded as a special feature which justifies K
a departure from the concurrent sentence approach. This line of
authorities is binding on this Court and on the Court of First
L L
Instance.
M 18. In 香港特別行政區 訴 陳堂 (unrep., HCMA 944/2009), the M
appellant pleaded guilty to possession of false identity card and
unlawfully remaining. A 15-month sentence was imposed for
N N
each offence and five months of the second sentence was to be
served consecutively to the first, making a total of 20 months’
O imprisonment. Deputy High Court Judge Andrew Chan allowed O
the appeal and reduced the total sentence to 18 months’
imprisonment. He ordered the first sentence to be altered to 12
P months and three months of which was to be served P
consecutively to the second sentence of 18 months. The Judge
Q distinguished Wong Ping and purported to apply Li Chang Li. Q
19. The Deputy Judge was of the view that this Court in Li
R Chang Li provided a guideline for a 12-month sentence and it R
explicitly stated that to remain in Hong Kong unlawfully is an
offence in itself for which the offender should receive an
S S
appropriate sentence. He further observed that when a person
came to Hong Kong lawfully and in possession of a forged
T identity card, he commits an offence. If his sentence is the same T
as another person who came to Hong Kong unlawfully and in
U U
V V
- 17 -
A A
B possession of a forged identity card, the former may find the B
sentence unjust.
C C
20. With respect to Judge Chan his approach was wrong and
should not be followed. Li Chang Li is not concerned with the
D tariff of sentence for an illegal immigrant in possession of a D
forged identity card or with the concurrent/consecutive method
E
of sentencing. The discussion in that case was confined to the E
disparity in sentences imposed in the lower courts of someone
who came to Hong Kong legally and in possession of a forged
F identity card or an identity card belonging to another person for F
the purpose of using the card to seek employment in Hong Kong.
G G
22. HKSAR v Li Chang Li did not overrule any previous
decisions that had adopted a sentence of 15 months’
H imprisonment on an illegal immigrant in possession of a forged H
identity card. In our view the two lines of authorities should
remain distinct. The underlining criminality of an illegal
I immigrant in possession of a forged identity card is his unlawful I
presence in Hong Kong. This is the mischief that the deterrent
J sentence of 15 months’ imprisonment is aimed at. The forged J
identity card must primarily be for the purpose of ensuring his
illegal status in Hong Kong would not be so easily detected. If
K he makes use of the card for a benefit, such as seeking K
employment, then the 15-month sentence can be adjusted
upwards.
L L
23. The enhancement provides a degree of flexibility in arriving
M at the appropriate sentence even if the two sentences remain M
concurrent. Wong Ping did not state categorically that there
must be concurrent sentences. Whether in a case there should
N be consecutive sentences must be fact specific. By giving a N
proper adjustment to the standard sentences, we do not envisage
O in a normal situation that there is a real need to use a partially O
consecutive sentence approach. …”

“11. It has been pointed out by the respondent that there is no
G tariff laid down for overstaying offences and that the range is G
wide from a fine (at level 5) to a term of imprisonment up to 2
years.
H H
12. It has also been pointed out to us that the taking up of
I employment during the period of the overstay is considered by I
these courts to be an aggravating factor.
J 13. We agree with those views. It is the length of the overstay J
that the court looks at and whether employment was taken up
K during the period of the overstay which is relevant to K
sentence. …
L 15. In three of the cases to which we were referred by both L
counsel, there were imposed sentences of 6 months for
overstaying. First of these cases is the case of Tseung Sau Tao,
M M
HCMA No.955 of 1992, unreported, where the appellant
overstayed for a period of 4 years and 6 months. The second case
N where a six-month sentence was imposed was the case of N
Bhattarai, HCMA No.606 of 1996, where the appellant had
overstayed for 11 months and had worked during the period of
O O
overstay. P. Chan J (as he then was) commented in that case that
6 months was not manifestly excessive and not wrong in
P principle in dismissing the appeal. However in Bhattarai's case, P
the learned judge there appears to have focused on the count of
possession of another's identity card rather than on the
Q overstaying count nor were any previously decisions cited to Q
support his comments. In the third case where a six-month
R sentence was imposed, that is the case Iqbal Zahid, HCMA R
560/1996, unreported, there Stock J (as he then was) reduced the
six-month sentence to 3 months on the grounds that the appellant
S in that case had surrendered himself. In the judgment he had S
commented that 6 months was on the high side but not excessive.
However, it is noted that in that case the appellant there had one
T T
previous conviction for overstaying. The period of the
overstaying in that case was a period of 3 years.

D 17. In eight other cases which were cited or referred to this court D
by both counsel, the sentences for the overstaying ranged from
E
28 days to 3 months. E
18. In all the circumstances and after careful consideration of the
F length of sentences imposed from all the cases referred to us, we F
are of the view that there should be some consistency and the
proper starting point which should have been adopted here is one
G G
of 4½ months instead of the 9 months used by the learned judge
below. On that basis, and giving to the applicant the full one-
H third discount for the plea of guilty this would result in a H
sentence of 3 months for the overstaying count.”

18. 於 HKSAR v Ngai Yiu Ching (倪耀偵) [2011] 6 HKC 238,
P P
上訴法庭指:
Q Q
“13. When a judge is faced with the task of sentencing for
R R
multiple offences he is required as an initial step to identify the
appropriate sentence for each offence and as the final step to
S achieve a total sentence appropriate to the culpability of the S
offender. The issue with which this appeal is concerned is the
decision that the judge faced whether to order any of the
T sentences for the offences to run concurrently with each other or T
to be served consecutively.
U U
V V
- 21 -
A A
B B
14. The question whether to order concurrent or consecutive
C sentences can arise in many different scenarios. An offender C
may be charged in respect of a number of different, or similar,
offences committed on wholly separate occasions over a period
D of time or with a number of different offences committed in the D
course of one episode of criminal activity. This case is
E
concerned with the latter situation. E
15. In the case of several offences committed in the course of a
F single episode, the prosecuting authorities might choose to F
proffer only one charge, where one charge embraces all the
criminal conduct reflected by the evidence or, as in the present
G G
instance, separate charges for each criminal act.
H 16. If it chooses the former course, the instances of proved H
conduct embraced by the single charge but which could have
been the subject of separate charges are taken into account in
I deciding what penalty reflects the true overall criminality.. I
J 17. But when the prosecuting authority elects the latter course, J
namely, to charge two or more offences arising from an episode
of criminal activity, the objective is still the same; that is to say,
K the ultimate overall sentence must still reflect the overall and K
true culpability, although the sentencing judge must take care,
first, to pass a sentence for each individual offence that is
L L
appropriate to that offence and the circumstances of its
commission and, second, not to punish the offender twice for the
M same conduct. M
18. It was in an attempt to safeguard fairness to the offender by
N ensuring that he was not punished twice for the same conduct N
that the courts developed the "one transaction" rule. In essence,
O this rule said that if the number of offences have been charged O
arising from the one transaction or course of criminal conduct,
then concurrent sentences should be imposed.
P P
19. The one transaction rule was not developed as an inflexible
Q
rule of law. It was never intended as anything more than a Q
practical rule of thumb to guide judges in the exercise of the
power to impose consecutive sentences so that the final sentence
R was not one that was unfair to an offender. R
20. However, once stated, this practical working rule tended to
S S
develop a life of its own and has led to some difficulty in its
application. Judicial dicta explained what was meant by "one
T course of criminal conduct" and exceptions to the rule T
developed… All of this, understandably enough, became
material for advocates who sought to argue that the multiple
U U
V V
- 22 -
A A
B offences of which their client had been convicted were part of B
one transaction and that it inevitably followed that the correct
C sentence was one where all the sentences were concurrent. C
21. There are several problems associated with this line of
D reasoning. First it runs the risk of elevating a practical working D
rule to a rule of law, thereby providing an opportunity to argue
E
that departure from it inevitably meant that the sentence imposed E
on the client was excessive. Secondly, it tends to obscure the
real point which is not whether two or more offences are
F committed at about the same time, but whether the second or F
other further offences add to the culpability or criminality of the
first. Thirdly, it ignores the reality that whatever sentence is
G G
arrived at after application of the rule is still subject to the
totality principle.
H H
22. The importance of the totality principle cannot be overstated.
It is there to ensure not only fairness to the offender, in the sense
I that he is not punished twice for the same offence and, further, I
that the sentence is not an unduly crushing punishment but it is
J also a tool by which to ensure that “the overall effect of the J
sentences is sufficient having regard to the usual principles of
deterrence, rehabilitation and denunciation.”: R v K M [2004]
K NSWCCA 65 at paragraph 55. K
23. The emphasis therefore should be on a reflection in the
L L
sentence of true culpability disclosed by the offences of which
the accused has been convicted. This is an approach which this
M court has consistently adopted in recent times, for example in M
HKSAR v Kwok Shui To [2006] 2 HKC 421… HKSAR v Iu Wai
Shun [2008] 1 HKC 79. It is likely to be a more effective
N approach in reflecting an offender’s overall culpability than one N
which becomes overly concerned with the one transaction rule,
O although in the case of more than one offence, the court must O
guard carefully against punishing twice for the same act. If the

wholly or partially consecutive to that for the first; to what Q
extent, if at all, will depend upon an assessment of the totality

circumstances of the case and the offender.”

19. 本案中,控方原可選擇就每一張偽造身份證獨立提控(即

3 項獨立的「管有偽造身份證」控罪),而每項控罪的量刑基準均為

- 23 -
A A
B B
18 個月監禁。之後,法庭須根據總刑期原則來考慮該 3 項控罪的判
C 刑。就算控方選擇以一項控罪涵括 3 張偽造身份證,判刑原則不變; C
判刑時法庭必須考慮整體案情及罪責。

20. 明顯地,被告人管有 3 張偽造身份證比只管有 1 張偽造
F 身份證嚴重得多。因此,考慮到本案案情,本席將量刑基準上調 9 個 F
月至 27 個月監禁。

3 個月監禁作為量刑基準。

28. 本席必須考慮總刑期的原則。控罪 3 和 4 均與被告人逾
K 期留港有關。本席下令該 2 項控罪的刑期同期執行(即共 18 個月監 K

本席下令,控罪 2 的其中一個月與控罪 3 和 4 分期執行,即總刑期為
