- High Court
The starting point of 12 months for the unlawful taking was within range but at the stern end; the eight month uplift for other offending and prior convictions was excessive and insufficiently articulated and was reduced to four months; from the resulting total a 25% guilty plea discount (four months) and a discrete one month remorse discount were applied, producing an substituted sentence of 11 months' imprisonment.
