- High Court
The High Court held the effective sentence of 11 months imprisonment was within the available range given the offending occurred while on bail and the appellant's significant and recent history of dishonesty offences; the 12 month starting point was not outside the available range and the two month uplift for assault appropriately reflected separate violent culpability, so the appeal was dismissed.
