The sentencing judge erred by failing to identify and give weight to major mitigation (substantial reimbursement and prolonged unexplained delay), and by misapplying totality and starting-point principles; appropriate starting points were fixed for each group of offences, a 50% reduction was warranted for mitigation, and an aggregate sentence of two years imprisonment (reduced from an inferred four-year starting total) was substituted accordingly.
