- High Court
The High Court found the District Court did not err: the appellant failed to prove a real and appreciable risk that conviction would preclude his overseas travel or disproportionately harm his business; drink-driving remains a serious offence despite low-end gravity; therefore consequences of conviction were not out of all proportion and discharge without conviction was not justified; no miscarriage of justice established and the appeal was dismissed.
