HANSEN v POLICE [2017] NZHC 425

- High Court
The appellate court held the 10 month sentence was at the higher end of the appropriate range but not manifestly excessive; the District Court did not make a material error in sentencing because it properly considered aggravating and mitigating factors, prior breaches and the unavailability of suitable home detention, and thus imprisonment was justified.
