- High Court
The appeals are dismissed because the appeal was filed out of time under s 248 and, on the merits, the sentencing judge's decisions were justified by the appellant's recidivism, high assessed risk, breaches of conditions and guilty pleas which undermined the jurisdictional challenge to release conditions; the sentences were not manifestly excessive.
