POLICE v TEHEI [2013] NZHC 1917 [31 July 2013]

[1]      I have not had time to complete a reasoned judgment on this appeal.

[2]      Because the appeal relates to the sentence being served by the respondent, and he had already served almost three months of the home detention sentence, and done 200 hours of the community work sentence, when the appeal was heard, and because a further month has passed, I am recording now that the appeal is dismissed.

[3]      My reasons will follow.

Woodhouse J
