The trial judge erred in treating the respondent's long‑running deception as an isolated past act and wrongly exercised sentencing discretion by imposing concurrent six month sentences suspended for 12 months; the sentences were manifestly inadequate and wrong in principle; the Court of Appeal allowed the Attorney General's review, dismissed the challenge to leave, and substituted an immediate custodial sentence of nine months' imprisonment concurrent on each charge after accounting for plea and mitigation adjustments.
