Court of Appeal upholds the original decision of the sentencing court, affirming the imposition of consecutive sentences totaling five years, with the final 12 months suspended, for a series of assault and road traffic offenses, on teh grounds that the gravity of the offenses, which included intimate partner violence and a dangerous high-speed chase, warranted the sentences imposed; the sentencing judge had appropriately considered the appellant's mental health and youth; and the sentence proportionate to the seriousness of the offenses.
