- Court of Appeal
The Court found the District Court erred in identifying matters that decisively told against home detention; the offence and facts did not require imprisonment for denunciation or deterrence, those errors caused a potential miscarriage of justice under s253(3), and therefore the sentence of 15 months imprisonment was quashed and substituted with four months home detention with conditions.
