The magistrate's sentencing conclusions were legally sound: the forged pro tem Immigration recognisance was linked to an intention to prolong unlawful stay but was less serious than a forged identity card, justifying a reduction from the 15 month benchmark to 8 months; the 2 month sentence for overstay was within established ranges, and the combined sentences were not manifestly excessive, therefore the appeal was dismissed.
