- High Court
The High Court held there was no miscarriage of justice in refusing a discharge without conviction because the offending was moderately serious, the identified consequences of conviction were not out of proportion to that gravity, and the sentence of 350 hours community work plus a $15,000 fine, derived from a three‑month custodial starting point reduced for good character and guilty plea, was within range and not manifestly excessive.
