    Court
    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACC14/2012

    The Court held that the judge’s chosen starting point of 3 years 3 months was appropriate on the facts (targeted robbery of a vulnerable young woman in a residential public area involving a valuable item) and that the one-third reduction for guilty plea was correctly applied; consequently the resultant sentences of 2 years and 2 months were not manifestly excessive and the applications for leave to appeal were dismissed.
