- High Court
The High Court allowed the appeal because the Youth Court erred by over-emphasising incomplete elements of the rehabilitation plan and failing to give adequate weight to the applicant's overall progress, reasons for non-compliance, young age, personal circumstances and compliance with restrictive bail; in the interests of the young person and as the best means to reduce reoffending a full discharge under s 282 was warranted.
