- High Court
The High Court upheld the District Court's refusal to discharge the appellant without conviction because the identified consequences were not out of proportion to the gravity of the offending; the nine-month supervision sentence was affirmed as appropriate, but the special condition requiring family/relationship counselling was unlawful and quashed because there was no finding of a significant risk of further offending.
