- High Court
On rehearing the High Court applied the three-step test, concluded the offending was moderately serious, found the evidence of employment harm was equivocal and did not establish a real and appreciable risk that conviction would prevent employment in the appellant's industry, and therefore held the direct and indirect consequences of conviction were not out of all proportion to the gravity of the offence; appeal dismissed.
