- Court of Appeal
The sentence of 18 months' imprisonment was manifestly excessive given the context, limited harm, partial correction of false evidence, and the need to properly consider home detention; substituted sentence of 12 months' imprisonment (with the two months in lieu of fines to be concurrent) and leave granted to apply for home detention, with a home detention report to be prepared urgently.
