The appeal was allowed because the Magistrate correctly refused to treat Immigration administrative detention as falling within s67A credit and correctly declined to apply statutory remission for good conduct as a matter for the prison authority; consequent adjustment by remission was not available to the court and post‑sentence events could not be considered, but having regard to totality and other factors the sentence was substituted to permit the appellant's immediate release.
