Because the formal charge did not allege domestic violence as defined by the Domestic Violence Act and courts must sentence on the basis of the charge, s.294(6) did not apply; weighing mitigation (guilty plea, first offender, stroke, family circumstances) and sentencing principles the appropriate disposal was a bond of good behaviour rather than imprisonment.
