- High Court
The High Court upheld the District Court's prison sentence (3 years 9 months) and the seven year finite disqualification but held that the sentencing Judge erred by failing to also impose the mandatory indefinite disqualification under s65(2) of the Land Transport Act 1998; the Court confirmed the five year starting point and six month uplift were within range and that no additional remorse discount was required beyond the guilty plea and youth reductions.
