- High Court
The High Court held the sentencing Judge erred by failing to consider home detention/electronically‑monitored sentence as the least restrictive appropriate outcome; six months' imprisonment for the lead drink‑driving offence was manifestly excessive in all the circumstances and was commuted to three months' home detention (less time already served), subject to conditions including no driving during home detention.
