The court allowed the appeal, admitted fresh evidence concerning the appellant's medical condition, concluded that probation was unsuitable but continued detention would be counter-productive given the appellant's health and time already served, and that a deterrent sentence of 6 months imprisonment was appropriate if combined with a significant suspension period; accordingly substituted the magistrate's Detention Centre sentence with 6 months imprisonment suspended for 18 months and ordered release from detention.
