Mr Blewett was convicted on his pleas of guilty in the Magistrates Court of two offences under s 80(1) of the Domestic and Family Violence Protection Act 1989. Mr Blewett had two prior domestic violence offences. The prosecution sought to tender his criminal history in order to obtain the maximum sentence, but such tender was rejected by the Magistrate.

01 Jan 2012
Appeal to District Court on the ground that the sentences imposed for the two offences against s 80(1) of the Domestic and Family Violence Protection Act 1989 were manifestly inadequate. The applicant’s contended that the Magistrate erred in law in holding that the whole of Mr Blewett's criminal history was inadmissible; at most, only the previous offences against s 80(1) should have been excluded. Appeal dismissed.
