    Court
    High Court

    On substitution of convictions from aggravated offences to non‑aggravated burglary and assault the correct starting point for burglary was two years and three months; uplifted three months for prior offending and reduced two months for limited mitigation, producing an end sentence of two years and four months imprisonment for burglary, concurrent nine months for assault; the District Court strike warning was cancelled as there was no statutory basis after substitution of convictions.
