- High Court
The District Court erred by failing to perform the second step of the Moses methodology and by not applying discrete offender-based discounts for mental impairment, personal deprivation and youth; applying discounts of 10% (mental impairment), 10% (personal deprivation) and 5% (youth) together with a 25% guilty plea discount to the adjusted starting point reduced the end sentence from four months to two and a half months imprisonment, cumulative on the existing sentence.
