- High Court
The High Court held there was no error in the District Court's reasoning or result: the five‑year starting point was justified by multiple discrete strangulations (including loss of consciousness and incontinence), threats to kill, indecent assaults and significant injuries, and s8(d) of the Sentencing Act and relevant precedents supported a high starting point; the discounted end sentence of 37 months was within the available range and the appeal was dismissed.
