- High Court
The High Court held the District Court's 12-month starting point was within the available range but that the discounts for guilty plea, rehabilitation/remorse and the appellant's verified medical/age-related vulnerability warranted a net reduction from the 12-month starting point by five months (2 months guilty plea, 1 month rehabilitation/remorse, 2 months medical/age) resulting in a substituted sentence of seven months' imprisonment; Moses v R requires discounts be deducted from the starting point and fresh medical evidence relevant to mitigation may be admitted on appeal.
