Procedural Posture

Criminal Appeal (sentence) / Leave to Appeal Application (refused)

  1. 1 whether the sentence was excessive or wrong in principle
  2. 2 whether pre-trial delay warranted additional credit
  3. 3 whether personal mitigation (pregnancy, childcare, remorse) justified a reduced sentence

Ratio Decidendi

The sentencing judge's selection of a 24‑month starting point was justified by the large scale and seriousness of the counterfeit operation; appropriate discounts (2 months for trial delay and 1 month for pregnancy) were applied; there was no error in principle or manifest excess warranting appellate interference, therefore leave to appeal against sentence is refused.
