- CACC361/2002
The court held enhancement under s.27(11) was improperly applied: conspiracy to defraud (a Schedule 2 offence) cannot be treated as 'organised crime' under the first limb and the prosecution statistics did not demonstrate prevalence at the time of sentencing to justify enhancement under the second limb; consequently sentences in both cases were reduced and reallocated to achieve a just overall sentence (applicant granted extension of time and appeals allowed to the extent indicated).
