- High Court
The High Court held the District Court did not err: the post‑plea explanation was inconsistent with the summary of facts and not properly before the sentencing judge; uplift for recidivism and related offending was justified and not unlawfully double‑counted; and the overall sentence of 18 months imprisonment (with 12 months disqualification) was within the available range and therefore not manifestly excessive, so the appeal was dismissed.
