- High Court
The High Court admitted the affidavit of an Australian migration agent as reliable fresh evidence and found there was a real and appreciable risk the appellant would be refused entry to Australia and that this would substantially impair his businesses; the direct and indirect consequences of conviction were therefore out of all proportion to the low to moderate family violence offending, so the convictions were quashed and the appellant discharged without conviction while reparation orders were left intact.
