The Court reduced the loitering sentence to 2 months (starting point 3 months reduced by one-third) because the earlier 18‑month sentence exceeded the statutory context; reduced possession of Part I poison (zopiclone) to 2 months (starting point 3 months reduced by one-third) recognising low dependence risk and the applicant's psychiatric need; ordered the 2‑month poison sentence to run concurrently with the burglary-related term so that the overall effective sentence is 42 months; appeal allowed and sentence adjusted accordingly.
