The application for leave to appeal was refused because there were no reasonably arguable grounds: the judge properly evaluated mitigation, correctly found claimed ignorance implausible, and applied an appropriate sentencing starting point given the specially protected status of elephant ivory and the quantity seized; a 24‑month sentence after plea was not manifestly excessive.
