The judge did not err in principle in sentencing: documentary credit frauds are serious irrespective of 'local' or 'international' labels; the sentencing judge properly assessed the applicant's role, recognised and allowed mitigation for delay, rehabilitation and cooperation (albeit by incorporating them into starting points), and the resulting concurrent sentences of 3 years 4 months were within lawful sentencing discretion; leave to appeal was therefore refused.
