- Court of Appeal
Preventive detention was quashed because the Judge erred in imposing it in respect of charges where the appellant was under 18 for some offending and, on the merits, the Court concluded a finite determinate sentence was adequate to protect the community given a real prospect of engagement in rehabilitation, the availability of registration and ESO mechanisms and the ability to increase the MPI; the Court substituted an effective 17‑year imprisonment term with an MPI of 8.5 years.
