Procedural Posture

Sentence Appeal / Application for Leave to Appeal and Appeal Determination

Legal Issues

  1. 1 ["Whether the sentence imposed on the applicant was manifestly excessive due to disparity with co-offender's sentence" 'Whether the sentencing judge failed to consider special circumstances and mitigating factors']

Ratio Decidendi

Any apparent disparity between the applicant's sentence and that of the co-offender Halmi was justified by material differentiating the cases, particularly regarding the applicant's role and subjective features. The original sentence was within the available range. The ground relating to special circumstances was without substance, as these considerations were already addressed by the sentencing judge.

Court Disposition

Leave to appeal granted. Appeal dismissed.
