Duffy, J.:
1. This was an appeal against a total sentence of six months imposed for two offences of making false statements to an Immigration Officer. A reading of the Magistrate's Reasons for Sentence revealed that the Magistrate in fact had imposed concurrent sentences of three months and that these sentences had been wrongly recorded. I therefore allowed the appeal, reducing the sentences to three months on each charge to be served concurrently.
Representation:
Mr K.W. Leung, C.C., for Crown
Mr Michael Poll (D.L.A.) for Appellant
