Procedural Posture

Criminal Appeal Against Sentence (leave to Appeal) / Application for Leave to Appeal Sentence in Court of Appeal

  1. 1 Whether the total effective sentence of 74 months is manifestly excessive and whether concurrency/consecutive orders were wrongly imposed
  2. 2 Whether sentences for offences arising from same set of facts should be ordered to run concurrently under the totality principle
  3. 3 Whether the driving disqualification of 10 years is excessive

Ratio Decidendi

The Court refused the applicant's challenge to the total effective sentence, concluding the 74‑month aggregate sentence was not manifestly excessive and the sentencing judge did not err in ordering the relevant sentences to run consecutively; however the Court granted leave to appeal only on the issue of the length of the driving disqualification (reason two).

Court Disposition

Application for leave to appeal against sentence partly allowed: leave granted only on the issue of driving disqualification length; application to reduce total sentence refused.

Orders

  • Permission to appeal granted solely on issue of the length of the driving disqualification (reason two)
  • Leave to appeal on all other grounds refused; original custodial sentence of 74 months upheld
