- Court of Appeal
The Court upheld the sentencing judge's assessments in most respects but allowed targeted adjustments: it refused to disturb Davoren's sentence; reduced Kaukasi's sentence by removing an inappropriate one-year uplift for s98A conduct and increasing bail-credit discount; reduced Sililoto's sentence to offset double punishment from recall by adjusting starting point and granting credit for time on recall; and dismissed Fetu's appeal on admissibility and conviction grounds because the judge correctly found a voluntary waiver and reliable identification and any error was not prejudicial.
