社會服務令

http://legalref.judiciary.hk/lrs/common/ju/ju_frame.jsp?DIS=110877&currpage=T

the court of appeal talks about the community service order (CSO) sentencing option at length. this amounts to a guiding principle for CSO (and probation order, PO), from paragraph 136 onwards, which means that from now on, lower courts cannot hand down CSO or PO too liberally.
