Court balanced mitigating factors (guilty plea, remorse, remand time, family circumstances) against strong public interest in deterrence for immigration overstays and concluded that an 8-month custodial sentence from date of arrest is proportionate, justified and within proper exercise of sentencing discretion under Section 15(1)(c) Immigration Act 1959/63.
