- High Court
The High Court found the combined starting point and certain uplifts produced an excessive global sentence; recalculated a combined starting point of five years, applied appropriate uplifts (two months for breach of release conditions; six months for prior convictions) and applied discounts of 15% for youth, 15% for cultural deprivation and 20% for guilty pleas, resulting in substitution of the original sentence of four years six months with three years two months imprisonment and refusal of home detention as unsuitable.
