The reduction is to be given by the prison authorities on the ground of the prisoner’s industry and good conduct: Prison Rules (Cap 234A) r 69.

In doing so, the Chief Executive commutes the penalty of the prisoner in exercise of his power under the Basic Law art 48(12). 2. The return of a case to a lower court from a higher one. 3. The forgiving and release of a debt.
