- HCMA195/2003
Appeal allowed in part: magistrate's starting point of 12 months was excessive given the offence as particularised and admitted facts; although immediate imprisonment was appropriate, cumulative mitigating factors (including limited proven benefit, guilty plea, restitution and personal mitigation) amounted to exceptional circumstances sufficient to reduce the sentence to 6 months and suspend it for 18 months from 6 March 2003.
