- High Court
The High Court held the District Court's starting point and uplift were within permissible range, the uplift for the sentence breaches did not constitute impermissible double counting, the Judge properly considered mitigation and gave full credit for guilty pleas, and therefore the aggregate sentence of 15 months imprisonment was not manifestly excessive and the appeal was dismissed.
