The court held that where an accused gives assistance to the prosecution by giving evidence leading to conviction in another case, a 60% discount for that assistance was appropriate in this case (appellant did not qualify as a multi-case 'supergrass'); applying a 60% discount to the two‑year starting point reduced the sentence to nine months and the appeal was allowed to that extent.
