The Court held the appellant was entitled to a 50% combined reduction for guilty plea plus substantial assistance but not the exceptional two‑thirds ‘supergrass’ discount because his assistance, while helpful, did not meet the threshold of major, multi‑offence cooperation and the evidence of threats to him or his family was insufficient; accordingly the original 18 years 8 months sentence was quashed and substituted with 14 years imprisonment.
