- High Court
The Court held the 18 month starting point for the appellant's 25th driving-while-revoked offence was not manifestly excessive and the cumulative sentence, as moderated by a four month totality discount, was within range; however the sentencing Judge erred by failing to impose the mandatory minimum 12 month disqualification under the Land Transport Act 1998, and the appeal is allowed in part to impose that disqualification.
