Deportation risk arising from conviction does not make a discharge necessary because liability to deportation is a consequence of the offending and will be assessed by immigration decision‑makers on the full merits; the offending was serious (high‑speed racing, death, failure to stop, lack of licence) and the immigration consequences are not out of all proportion to that gravity, therefore refusal of discharge was correct.
