Mile v The King

The parties to this matter were Mile (the appellant) and The King (the respondent). The dispute concerned an appeal against a sentence imposed on the appellant. The appeal was heard by the Full Court of the Supreme Court of South Australia, comprising Livesey P, Doyle and David JJ.

The primary legal issue before the Court was whether the sentence imposed on the appellant was manifestly excessive, thereby providing grounds for interference on appeal.

The Court considered the grounds of appeal, finding that one ground was reasonably arguable. Despite this, the Court ultimately determined that the appeal against the sentence on the basis of manifest excess should be dismissed.

Permission to appeal was granted, but the appeal itself was dismissed.
