R v Jonathan Oriba

R v Jonathan Oriba

The sentencing judge was entitled to categorise the offence as category 1A and the applicant as playing a leading role, given his significant involvement in planning and preparation. The sentence was not manifestly excessive, and there was no error in the judge's approach. The application for leave to appeal had no merit and was refused.
