The appeal is dismissed because the District Court's end sentence of nine months imprisonment was within an orthodox range: the effective twelve-month starting point (six months base plus six months uplift for repeated breaches) was justified by eight prior breaches and ongoing non-compliance, and the 25% guilty plea discount produced a nine-month sentence; any factual imprecision and any limited restorative justice credit would not render that sentence manifestly excessive.
