The appeal court held that although the magistrate was not wrong to discount a bare undertaking to give evidence, new material (assistance given to prosecution, further remorse, family and health impact) warranted further reduction of sentence; however the offence was not a technical breach and deterrence predominated so suspension was not appropriate; sentences reduced from six to three months concurrent on each charge.
