    Court
    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACC399/1999

    The trial judge erred in using 24 months as the starting point; given the amount stolen and lack of aggravation the proper starting point was 12 months, and because the applicant had absconded and only belatedly faced charges the usual one‑third plea discount was appropriately reduced to one‑quarter, producing a final sentence of nine months' imprisonment.

    The defendant's conversion of a substantial external courtyard into internal rooms materially changed the nature and character of the demised premises and therefore amounted to actionable waste; the defendant was ordered to reinstate the premises to their condition as at 31 December 1973; no damages were awarded and costs were granted to the plaintiff.
