- High Court
The High Court held the District Court did not err: the 12 month starting point for unlawful use and 18 month uplift for the additional driving offences were within range given the facts and authorities; the 10% uplift for prior dishonesty (excluding driving convictions) was not double-counting and was open to the Judge; no Zhang discount was allowed because there was no persuasive evidence addiction causally mitigated the offending; appeal dismissed and original sentence affirmed.
