I also think the High Court should be able to have some amount of leeway in sentencing, being able to consider any mitigating factors that could play a role in the ultimate length of punishment. Lastly, the various punishments all issue some sort of ban as either the only punishment or alternative punishment, I think that there are other punishments that would fit certain crimes better than a ban (eg. corruption being given a ban on holding office, etc.).

In the most recent case (https://tspforums.xyz/thread-8999-post-2...#pid212838), the High Court determined that the guilty party should be banned for a year for the charges of contempt of court and bribery. Under this proposed amendment, the ban should (assuming the amendment existed prior to the case) be between 2-4 years rather than the one year that was actually given.

I am happy that you (as a new legislator) introduced this amendment, and hope that something might come out of this!

That would actually be 1 year as the verdict in that case was, since contempt of court and bribery are both 6 months. If not less as 1 year is the maximum.
