The appeal was allowed because the Training Centre sentence was not justified on the facts: the appellant's limited record and offences did not warrant that form of custodial training and a procedural mix‑up concerning short prison terms and statutory ineligibility undermined the magistrate's decision; the Training Centre sentence was set aside and substituted with a term of imprisonment permitting immediate discharge.
