- Court of Appeal
Extension of time to appeal was granted but the appeal against sentence was dismissed because the Judge did not make a material error in exercising discretion; the minimum period of eight years was amply justified by the gravity of the offending, breach of bail and the need to protect vulnerable family members, and potential deferral of treatment did not outweigh those sentencing objectives.
