- High Court
The restorative justice report was admissible as fresh, credible and cogent evidence and warranted a further discrete 5% discount for remorse/restorative engagement (recognising overlap with reparation), the District Court had double‑counted an uplift for unlawful taking requiring adjustment to the starting point, and on recalculation the aggregate sentence was substituted with 21 months' imprisonment; standard and special release conditions imposed.
