- High Court
The High Court held the District Court reparation order requiring repayment over 63 years was manifestly excessive; the court must set a realistic payment schedule taking account of the offender's present means and future earning capacity and avoid unreasonably long instalment periods. The reparation order was varied to continue $20 per week during home detention and then $100 per week for seven years to satisfy the outstanding sum of $36,400 (in addition to amounts already paid).
