The Judge erred by treating the bail breach as two breaches and adopting an excessive four month start point; consequent uplifts for drug offending and prior offending were disproportionate; guilty plea discounts were understated. Recalculation with a reduced start point, appropriate uplift and a 20–25% plea discount produced a substituted sentence of three and a half months imprisonment.
