A prior offence dealt with under s 10 of the Crimes (Sentencing Procedure) Act 1999 (dismissal without conviction) may be taken into account in sentencing for a subsequent offence: as an aggravating factor under s 21A(2)(j) where the subsequent offence was committed in breach of a good behaviour bond, and as evidence that the subsequent offence was not an aberration. R v Price is confined to the question of whether a s 10 matter can be treated as a prior conviction under s 21A(2)(d). The principles in Veen (No 2) regarding criminal record should not be invoked where there is only one prior offence.
