    ZAMANI v R [2023] NZHC 2133

    Citation
    [2023] NZHC 2133
    Court
    High Court

    The High Court held the sentencing Judge did not err: imposing 11 months of standard post-detention conditions (reduced from statutory 12 months) and allowing for special conditions (anger management and further therapy if deemed suitable by probation) was within discretion, satisfied s 80P criteria given risk assessment and rehabilitation needs, and speculative immigration/deportation consequences did not render the conditions inappropriate; appeal dismissed.
