- [2022] NZHC 984
- Court
- High Court
The appeal was allowed in part: the Court found the global starting point adopted by the sentencing Judge exceeded the appropriate range for the overall gravity of the offending; recalculation produced a lawful starting point of 6 years 3 months before mitigation, the Judge's 30% total mitigation discount was upheld, and to give practical effect the sentence on one cannabis supply charge (Charge 25) was reduced from two years to six months while all other sentences remain intact.
