Given the accused was a youthful first offender with a favourable probation report, demonstrated remorse, and significant financial hardship making a fine inappropriate, the court exercised its discretion under s293(1)(b) CPC to bind the accused over for 12 months on a good behavior bond with one surety and monthly reporting to the police rather than imposing a fine or imprisonment.
