The Court held the applicant provided valuable assistance but did not meet the high threshold to be classified as a 'supergrass' because his assistance related to a single incident and two co‑offenders only and did not demonstrate a high likelihood of actual harm; nonetheless persistent intimidatory behaviour warranted an extra discount beyond 50%, and the appeal was allowed, the original sentence set aside and substituted with 13 years 6 months imprisonment reflecting a total discount of 55%.
