Evans, R. v [2026] EWCA Crim 495 (25 March 2026)
The Court of Appeal held that exceptional circumstances justified disapplying the statutory minimum term for repeat class A supply and substituted a suspended sentence.
Morris & Anor, R. v [2026] EWCA Crim 421 (11 March 2026)
Court of Appeal upheld Morris’s life sentence and minimum term, but reduced Jones’s minimum term after finding his original term manifestly excessive.
The Court of Appeal Criminal Division refused Zac Newman’s application to extend time to renew leave to appeal sentence, holding his 24-year minimum term for murder was not manifestly excessive.
The Court of Appeal reduced Haseeb Majid’s murder minimum term from 25 years to 22 years and 137 days, finding one aggravating factor could not stand.
Newman, R. v [2026] EWCA Crim 179 (06 February 2026)
The Court of Appeal refused an out-of-time renewal in a murder sentence appeal, holding that a 24-year minimum term was not arguably manifestly excessive.
The judge's sentence, which added only five years and two months to the minimum term, was unduly lenient and did not fairly reflect the additional criminality represented by the second murder. A minimum term of at least 17 years for the second murder alone was required, and to achieve transparency and proportionality, a period of ten years was added to the minimum term outstanding from the first minimum term, resulting in a substituted minimum term of 32 years and six months.

Majid, R. v [2026] EWCA Crim 112 (27 January 2026)
The Court of Appeal reduced Haseeb Majid’s murder minimum term after finding one aggravating feature unsupported, but upheld the 25-year starting point.
The aggravating factors did not outweigh the mitigating factors; the minimum term should not have exceeded 15 years before deduction for remand time; the minimum term is reduced to 14 years.
Source excerpt
The minimum term of 30 years was manifestly excessive given the aggravating features did not warrant equivalence with the highest starting points under schedule 21. The appropriate minimum term, considering all circumstances including mitigation, should be 27 years less time spent on remand.
