- High Court
Given the offending was at the lower end of moderate seriousness but expert immigration evidence established that conviction would very likely lead to deportation and materially worsen an already existing liability, the immigration consequence of conviction was out of all proportion to the gravity of the offending; accordingly the conviction was quashed and the appellant discharged without conviction under s106 Sentencing Act 2002.
