- Court of Appeal
The Court allowed the appeal, holding the District Court had sentenced the appellant from a three‑year starting point and that the High Court erred in treating the starting point as three years six months and in applying an undue uplift; the correct notional starting point including a modest uplift for intentional damage was no more than three years, appropriate discounts (including a four‑month credit for restrictive bail) produced an end sentence of one year and seven months' imprisonment, and the concurrent damage sentence was reduced to three months concurrent.
