TAYLOR v NEW ZEALAND POLICE [2017] NZHC 856

- High Court
The appeal is dismissed; although the District Court Judge should have articulated the discount for guilty plea, the overall five month cumulative sentence was within an appropriate range given the extreme culpability, multiple victims and the need for the total sentence to reflect totality of offending; s84 guidance does not prevent cumulative sentences where necessary to achieve an appropriate total sentence.
