- Court of Appeal
The Court accepted the District Court's starting point for the fraud offending was too high and fixed it at 16 months but held that, after recalculation and applying the relevant discounts and the totality principle, the end sentence was not manifestly excessive; references to whakapapa were not aggravating; the appeal was dismissed and the sentence upheld.
