R v HASTIE [2013] NZHC 1796 [23 July 2013]

[1]      Ms Hastie, you should now stand and I will impose the formal sentence.

[2]      You, of course, appeared on 26 June 2013 for sentencing.  On that date I explained that a sentence of home detention would be imposed for the reasons that were fully outlined then.  That was subject to a favourable home detention report. There is a favourable home detention report in the sense that the proposed home for home detention is a suitable place. For that reason that sentence will be imposed.

[3]      Accordingly,  you  are  sentenced  to  12  months  home  detention.     The conditions of that home detention, including special conditions, are as recorded in the home detention report.  This includes a post-detention condition.  The post- detention condition will continue for a period of 12 months at the expiry of the home detention period.

[4]      In  addition  to  home  detention,  and  as  discussed  this  morning  with  Mr

Burroughs, you will be sentenced to 150 hours of community work.

[5]      You should now stand down.

Woodhouse J
