- Court of Appeal
The Court admitted the updated victim impact evidence and found the District Court proceeded on incorrect and incomplete information (wrong summary of facts and absence of an updated signed victim impact statement); the combined errors amounted to a miscarriage of process such that the conviction and sentence were quashed and the matter remitted to the District Court for fresh consideration of discharge without conviction.
