The Court of Appeal upheld Daniel Williamson’s seven-year-and-four-month sentence for a sustained blackmail campaign, though it corrected the guideline categorisation to B2.
Djurberg, R. v [2026] EWCA Crim 566 (01 April 2026)
The Court of Appeal refused renewed leave to appeal against a 12-year sentence for multiple fraud by false representation offences involving houseboats and mooring rights.
Ball, R. v [2026] EWCA Crim 483 (27 March 2026)
The Court Martial Appeal Court refused leave to appeal conviction but allowed the sentence appeal, reducing a nine-year rape sentence to seven and a half years.
The aggravating features, including the appellant's active role in violent disorder during a period of national unrest, justified an uplift from the guideline starting point. The personal mitigation was not sufficient to render the sentence manifestly excessive. The sentence imposed was within the appropriate range and the appeal was dismissed.

Singh, R. v [2026] EWCA Crim 345 (06 March 2026)
The Court of Appeal allowed an Attorney General’s reference, holding that the original sentence for a violent car attack was unduly lenient because it failed to reflect totality.
The Court of Appeal dismissed a sentence appeal, holding that a 6-year term for robbery and possession of a bladed article was not manifestly excessive.
Omar, R. v [2026] EWCA Crim 92 (17 February 2026)
The Court of Appeal refused leave to appeal sentence in a conspiracy to rob case involving hostility toward gay and bisexual victims and youth mitigation.
The judge was correct to treat hostility based on sexual orientation as high culpability and as an aggravating factor, given its integral role in the conspiracy. The applicant’s age and immaturity were properly considered as mitigation. The sentence imposed was not manifestly excessive given the gravity and prolonged nature of the offending.
