Ayoub v R [2024] NSWCCA 168

Ayoub v R [2024] NSWCCA 168

The sentencing judge did not err in the application of the totality principle. Appropriate allowance for concurrency and cumulation was afforded through backdating of the aggregate sentence to overlap partially with the balance of parole, reflecting proper consideration of the total criminality. The applicant's argument based on the arithmetic of a 'total effective sentence' was flawed, as it failed to address the significance of time spent on parole and other relevant sentencing considerations. There is no foundation to the applicant's complaint.
