The Court held the trial judge erred in imposing deterrent sentences where individual deterrence was not required given appellants' good character and exceptional circumstances; the judge's failure to state starting points required the Court to identify appropriate starting points and adjust sentences: 1st appellant starting point 21 months less 3 months discount = 18 months; 3rd appellant starting point 4 months less 1 month = 3 months but immediate release ordered; costs awarded to 2nd and 4th appellants whose convictions were quashed.
