APPEAL BOOK ENDORSEMENT
[1] The appellant’s submissions centre on the length of the jail sentence. However, the appellant has now served that sentence. We do not think that it would be appropriate to reduce the driving prohibition. Given the appellant’s record and the very serious nature of the offences, we are of the view that the 5‑year probation was entirely appropriate and not affected by any alleged error in the custodial sentence.
[2] Accordingly, while leave to appeal sentence is granted, the appeal is dismissed.
