- High Court
The High Court held the District Court did not err: the offending was of moderate gravity with aggravating features, the asserted consequences of conviction were ordinary and not shown to be out of all proportion to the offence, and the four month prison sentence (after discounts for plea and remorse from a six month starting point) was within the appropriate range and not manifestly excessive; therefore the appeal was dismissed.
