    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCMA126/2016

    The magistrate did not err in law or principle in imposing a 14 month sentence after increasing the starting point to reflect the appellant's repeated theft convictions, recent release from custody, the night time and busy Christmas shopping location, and self induced intoxication; the resultant sentence was not excessive and the appeal is dismissed.
