The Magistrate's choice of a 12‑month starting point for the identity‑card offence, reduction by one quarter to 9 months because the appellant had contested the facts (therefore not entitled to a full plea discount), and imposition of a consecutive 2‑month sentence for overstay were lawful and not excessive; the appellant's family circumstances did not justify reducing the sentence and the appeal is dismissed.
