- Court
- High Court
The High Court accepted the sentencing judge was entitled to find the appellant unsuitable for home detention given repeated non-compliance with court orders, ongoing offending while on bail and supervision, and lack of a suitable address; however, because rehabilitation at a residential facility with adequate oversight could mitigate absconding risk, the appellant was granted leave to apply to convert the balance of her sentence to home detention at an appropriate rehabilitative facility.
