- High Court
The High Court held the aggregate sentence of three years and seven months was not manifestly excessive because the Judge's overall starting point of five years was at the low end of the available range given three distinct clusters of serious offending, the limited uplift for prior convictions was conservative and omissions (such as not expressly uplifting for offending on bail) did not render the end sentence erroneous; appeal dismissed.
