- High Court
The Judge erred by failing to address and allow some discount for the appellant's lack of any family support in New Zealand which makes imprisonment disproportionately more severe for him as a foreign national; a further 5% reduction (two months off the adopted 40‑month starting point, yielding a 27‑month sentence) is warranted and the District Court sentence of 29 months is quashed and substituted with 27 months imprisonment.
