Yearwood, R. v [2024] EWCA Crim 1094 (29 August 2024)

The sentence of 12 months' imprisonment was lawful and appropriate as it did not exceed the Magistrates' Court's maximum aggregate sentence for two either way offences, and the reduction for guilty plea was properly applied to the starting point, with the final sentence remaining within statutory limits.
