- Court of Appeal
The Court held the District Court judge was not plainly wrong: on the evidence, including the immigration affidavit and the defendant's business travel history, it was open to a rational judge to conclude that a conviction would cause significant ongoing travel and business consequences that could be out of proportion to moderately serious offending, so the discharge without conviction with $10,000 reparation was upheld.
