- High Court
The sentence of eight weeks imprisonment was not manifestly excessive given the appellant's persistent failure to comply, minimal completion of community work, previous breaches and the need for denunciation and deterrence; however, on review under s 68(3) Sentencing Act 2002 the outstanding community work sentence was cancelled because supervision and standard/special release conditions provided a suitable framework for a fresh start and no replacement sentence was necessary.
