The Court held the 5-year starting point for the false-instrument/forgery charge was not excessive in light of the scale and sophistication of the forgery factory; cross-examination on the 3rd applicant's prior conviction was permissible because the defence opened the issue and the trial judge did not rely on that prior conviction for the verdict; consecutive sentencing did not breach the totality principle because the prior offences were unconnected and the aggregate six-year term was not manifestly excessive. Accordingly all applications for leave to appeal were refused.
