- High Court
The High Court held the two-year two-week sentence was not manifestly excessive: the two-month uplift for separate December offending was a modest and permissible cumulative penalty given community sentencing was unavailable; omission to grant a small additional remorse/restorative-justice discount did not render the sentence manifestly excessive; and the placement at the upper end of band two under Nuku was appropriate for the gravity of the lead offending.
