- High Court
The High Court found no error in the District Court's approach or outcome: given the appellant's deliberate false passport declaration used to evade Spanish criminal process and his refusal to commit to returning to face charges, imprisonment was necessary to achieve denunciation and deterrence and the sentence of 15 months imprisonment was appropriate and upheld.
