The appeal succeeds because the District Court judge incorrectly applied a two month uplift for offending while on bail when the offending did not occur on bail; removing that erroneous uplift reduces the aggregated pre-discount sentence from 16 to 14 months and, after applying the 25% guilty plea and 10% remorse discounts, produces a correct end sentence of nine months, which replaces the quashed 10.5 month sentence.
