Frank v R
Frank v R (Criminal Appeal 8 of 2017) [2017] MWHC 79 (6 June 2017)
The lower court erred by not considering statutory provisions for first offenders and by imposing a severe deterrent sentence, but given the public harm caused by the offence, a custodial sentence with an option of a fine is justified.
