LUTERU v POLICE [2023] NZHC 2508

- Court
- High Court
Although the appellant had mitigating personal circumstances reducing the gravity of the offending to the lower end of 'moderately serious', the direct and indirect consequences of conviction were also moderately serious and therefore not out of all proportion to the offending; consequently a discharge without conviction was not justified and the District Court decision was upheld.
