PEARSON v NZ POLICE [2017] NZHC 666

- High Court
Appeal allowed: the District Court sentence was adjusted only on computational grounds — the appellant was entitled to the full 25% guilty plea discount and a five week allowance for time in custody following recall; applying a nine month starting point uplifted six months for prior record, then deducting 25% and five weeks results in a substituted cumulative sentence of 10 months imprisonment.
