- High Court
Given the sustained, calculated breaches of home detention, deception of Corrections, manipulation of the victim and premeditated conversion of a rental vehicle, a term of imprisonment was the least restrictive outcome that met the purposes in s7 and satisfied the s16(2) requirements; the High Court dismissed the appeal and upheld a four month imprisonment with specified post-release conditions and reparation.
