- Court of Appeal
The Court granted leave to appeal out of time because retaining finality would work a substantial injustice where preventive detention had been imposed contrary to the true interpretation of s 75 (as declared in R v Mist); the preventive detention sentence was quashed and substituted with a finite sentence of 14 years' imprisonment, with no discount for youth because the offending was planned and formed part of a sequence culminating in murder.
