R v TULLOH and TAYLOR [2000] NSWCCA 179

R v TULLOH and TAYLOR [2000] NSWCCA 179

The sentencing judge's approach was not in error, as material distinctions existed between the applicants' and co-offender's cases; the imposed sentences, while potentially lenient, were not susceptible to reduction on appeal by the offenders, and no error was shown regarding time spent in protection by Mr Tulloh.
