- High Court
The High Court found the District Court judge’s ten‑month starting point, two‑month uplift for the prior like offence, and 25% discount to arrive at nine months imprisonment were within the proper sentencing range for offending under s194A given the pattern of family violence and were not manifestly excessive, therefore the sentence was affirmed.
