Hall, R. v [2026] EWCA Crim 556 (24 April 2026)

Jones & Anor v R. [2026] EWCA Crim 418 (01 April 2026)

The Court of Appeal dismissed appeals against conviction and sentence for firearms offences, rejecting disclosure and circumstantial-evidence complaints.
The Court of Appeal Criminal Division dismissed Marcus Pottinger’s appeal against conviction for section 18 wounding, holding the verdict was safe on the evidence and directions.
Blake & Ors, R. v [2026] EWCA Crim 452 (20 March 2026)
The Court of Appeal quashed Blake’s extended sentence, upheld Wootton’s sentence, and refused Jones’s renewed application on sentencing appeals arising from drug and firearm offending.
The sentence imposed was unduly lenient because the uplift for firearms offences was insufficient; an increase of less than seven years could not be justified given the seriousness and mandatory minimums. The correct total sentence before guilty plea discount should have been 18 years, reduced by 15 percent for the guilty plea, resulting in 15 years and three months' imprisonment.
Source excerpt
The sentencing judge erred by failing to consider and explain why alternatives to imprisonment for public protection would not suffice. Given the applicant's age, lack of previous violent convictions, and prospects for rehabilitation, an extended sentence would have adequately protected the public. The original sentence was outside the reasonable range and is quashed in favour of an extended sentence.

Hussain & Anor, R. v [2026] EWCA Crim 323 (27 February 2026)
The Court of Appeal upheld sentences for a carefully planned insider robbery of a Lidl store, rejecting arguments about sentencing guidelines, starting points, and plea credit.
The refusal to adjourn did not render the trial unfair as the appellant had the benefit of expert reports and could have cross-examined the prosecution expert. The prosecution's closing speech, though referencing the appellant, was justified given his central role and did not undermine the safety of the convictions.
