- High Court
The Court granted the application under s94 because additional time-limited special conditions (six months GPS/electronic monitoring, residence curfew, non-association with the victim's family, prohibition on alcohol/illicit substances, and requirement for psychological assessment and any recommended treatment) were necessary and proportionate to reduce the risk of reoffending, to promote rehabilitation and reintegration, and to address the reasonable concerns of the victim's family; the respondent accepted the amended conditions.
