TESEMA v DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS [2018] NZHC 1002

- High Court
The appeal was allowed by consent because the sentencing judge erred by having regard to a cancelled prison sentence rather than the substituted home detention sentence and by failing to account for time spent in custody awaiting re-sentence; the correct sentence on re-sentence was 16 months imprisonment and the 20 month sentence was quashed and replaced accordingly.
