- High Court
The District Court Judge erred by focusing on general moral opprobrium rather than the appellant's specific circumstances; the offending was at the low end of the spectrum for s131 offences and the direct and indirect consequences of conviction (likely exclusion from employment and independent living given health and disability) would be out of proportion to that low gravity; appeal allowed, conviction quashed and discharge without conviction granted.
