- Court
- High Court
The High Court held most uplifts imposed by the District Court were within the proper exercise of discretion but reduced the drug-related uplift as excessive and corrected the effective guilty plea/personal discounts to align with the Judge's stated approach, resulting in a four-month reduction of the effective end sentence; the appeal was allowed in part and the burglary sentence reduced from 2 years 9 months to 2 years 5 months.
