- High Court
Conviction upheld because charging errors did not cause a miscarriage of justice; sentencing error established because prior convictions pre-dated s 52A and therefore did not qualify for the enhanced mandatory two year disqualification under s 52A(5), so the appropriate sentence is six months disqualification under s 52A(3) to be served cumulatively with the previously imposed 12 month disqualification.
