- High Court
The judge exercised discretion to refuse recall and correction because exceptional circumstances existed: the appellant was actively seeking rehabilitative treatment and leaving the additional 2.4 months intact would likely secure further Parole Board oversight and supervised residential support. The appellant expressly declined correction. On that basis the potential injustice identified by the Crown was outweighed and the earlier judgment was left unaltered.
