- High Court
The High Court found a miscarriage of justice in relation to the strangulation charge and quashed that conviction; because the Crown did not oppose the proposed disposition, the Court set aside the District Court sentence and, under s236(2)(b) of the Criminal Procedure Act 2011, convicted and discharged the appellant on the remaining assault charge, thereby avoiding remittal to the District Court.
