Balancing comparable Full Court authority (Tam Fei v. R) and the specific extenuating facts of this case (quarrel context, extent of injury, contrition, time in custody), the judge imposed a 6‑month imprisonment sentence; the court held it lacked statutory power to review its criminal sentence and therefore did not reopen the sentence despite a mistaken expectation about immediate release.
