- High Court
The High Court dismissed the appeal because the provisional starting point and applied uplifts were within the accepted range and no error was shown in the sentencing judge's discretion; refusal to grant home detention was not an error because the appellant had an established pattern of non‑compliance including prior breach of home detention and there was insufficient evidence of motivation, suitability or an arranged residential programme to justify home detention.
