The Court allowed the appeal in part, finding the judge erred in ordering the 3‑month sentence for overstaying to run consecutively to the 15‑month sentence for use of another's identity card because that effectively punished the applicant twice for related conduct; the Court ordered the 3 months to run concurrently with the 15 months and those concurrent sentences to run consecutive to the concurrent 24‑month sentences on the deception charges, producing an overall term of 39 months.
