R v AYOUB [2001] NSWCCA 241

R v AYOUB [2001] NSWCCA 241

The Court was not persuaded that the absence of the additional material before the sentencing judge resulted from inadequate representation, and was not satisfied that the material would have affected the sentencing process. The sentences were within the proper range of the sentencing judge's discretion, particularly given the ammunition offence taken into account, and were not manifestly excessive.
