    Court of Appeal

    CACC278/2013

    The sentencing judge applied the correct principles, considered relevant aggravating and mitigating factors, and did not err in assessing the applicant's culpability or the appropriate sentence; disparity with sentences in unrelated cases does not constitute appealable error because the parity principle is confined to co-offenders; accordingly the application for leave to appeal against sentence is dismissed.
