R v Clive Lloyd

R v Clive Lloyd

The overall custodial term of 14 years was manifestly excessive because insufficient allowance was made for the appellant's youth at the time of offending and the historic nature of the offences. The sentences on counts 4 and 6 were reduced to 3 years' custody and 1 year extended licence each, resulting in a total special custodial sentence of 16 years (12 years' custody, 4 years' extended licence).

Legal Issues
