NUKU v NEW ZEALAND POLICE [2020] NZHC 1767

- [2020] NZHC 1767
- Court
- High Court
The High Court held the substituted sentence (four months' community detention and 80 hours' community work) was within the available sentencing range and not manifestly excessive; the District Court did not err in increasing the restrictiveness and hours to reflect deliberate non-compliance and to give proper deterrent and denunciatory effect, so the appeal was dismissed.
