Leeuwen v Hawke

The appellant was convicted by the Magistrates Court of the ACT of assaulting a police officer. The appellant was sentenced to a six-month suspended sentence, a 12-month good behaviour bond, and a 12-month community corrections order. The appellant appealed against the sentence on the ground that two sentences were imposed for the one charge. The appeal was from the ACT Magistrates Court to the Supreme Court of the ACT. The appeal was dismissed.

The appeal raised two issues. The first issue was whether the sentence imposed was lawful. The second issue was whether the sentence was excessive or inappropriate. The court held that the appeal was without merit. The court found that the sentence imposed was lawful as the combination of sentences was authorised by the legislation. The court also found that the sentence was not excessive or inappropriate as the court had considered all relevant matters in imposing the sentence.
