- Citation
- [2016] NZHC 486
- Court
- High Court
The court granted the Department's application and cancelled the sentence of home detention because the respondent had been offered placement in a residential rehabilitation facility where electronic monitoring could not be maintained, and because the programme concludes shortly before sentence expiry making a further pre-sentence report pointless; the respondent was warned that any failure to comply would result in return to court.
