- High Court
Even allowing for mitigating factors, the appellant's knowing reception and continued use of a stolen vehicle made the offending at least moderately serious, and the likely consequences of conviction (including impact on a Customs application and the employer's right to know) were not out of all proportion to that gravity; therefore the District Court's refusal to grant a discharge was correct and the appeal is dismissed.
