The trial judge erred by applying post-Tam Yi Chun/Abdallah tariffs to an offence committed before that decision; applying pre-Tam practice and relevant comparators yields a starting point of 22.5 years, enhanced to 24.5 years for the international element, and after allowing a 40% total discount for guilty plea and substantial cooperation (participation in a controlled delivery) the appropriate sentence is 14 years 8 months' imprisonment, therefore the original sentence is quashed and substituted accordingly.
