- CACC385/2007
The court refused the extension of time because the total sentence of 52 months was not manifestly excessive in light of the multiple convictions, the organised and prevalent nature of the environmental offending, aggravating features (unseaworthy vessel, role of captain/coxswain, failure to stop) and relevant authorities endorsing the starting points and enhancements; a higher starting point may be appropriate for deterrence but did not render the sentence disproportionate.
