AG v CTK [2004] JRC 015 (23 January 2004)

AG v CTK [2004] JRC 015 (23 January 2004)

Given the defendant's repeated offending, failure to respond to non-custodial sentences, and the seriousness of the offences, Youth Detention for twelve months is the only appropriate sentence. Disqualification from driving for two years is justified but should not extend unduly beyond the period of detention.
