- High Court
The High Court concluded the District Court's starting point of two years' imprisonment (resulting in a total sentence of two years and two months) was not manifestly excessive given the deliberate, premeditated dishonesty, substantial combined loss ($32,000), breaches of trust and the appellant's significant history of dishonesty; further, the sentencing judge properly declined additional credit for remorse or likely reparation because remorse was not demonstrated as genuine and reparation was unlikely to be made.
