The Court held that the 15-month tariff for this offence is appropriate; the Magistrate properly applied a 3-month reduction to account for 44 days pre-sentence custody resulting in an effective 12-month term; humanitarian factors and remorse did not justify further reduction; therefore the sentence of 12 months is not wrong in principle or manifestly excessive and the appeal is dismissed.
