The court allowed the appeal in part, holding that the magistrate had erred in ordering a partially consecutive sentence for the identity offence; the appropriate approach was to impose 18 months on each offence but run them concurrently, reducing the aggregate sentence from 22 months to 18 months. The court also held that time spent in administrative detention at CIC long before the offences did not qualify for deduction under s67A(1A) and therefore declined to deduct that period.
