- High Court
The High Court held the District Court judge did not err: starting points for injuring with intent and for assault on a police officer were justified by aggravating factors and authority (Nuku, Kauvai); appellant was primary and more culpable than co-defendant; guilty plea credit was reflected in a 20% global discount; the combined sentence was not manifestly excessive, so the appeal was dismissed.
