- High Court
The High Court held the District Court Judge did not err in law or principle and properly exercised his sentencing discretion; given the applicant's prior opportunity to obtain an interlock, failure to do so, continuing risk shown by repeat offending and the Judge's consideration of rehabilitation in imposing community detention instead of imprisonment, refusal to impose a further alcohol interlock order and the indefinite disqualification were open and justified; appeal dismissed.
