- High Court
The High Court held the effective sentence of six years imprisonment was not manifestly excessive: the seven year starting point and most uplifts (for Hokitika production and Department of Internal Affairs offending) were within available discretion given the severity, production/facilitation and grooming conduct; the Customs uplift was an error but did not render the total sentence excessive; appeal dismissed and six year sentence affirmed.
