    Court
    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACC446/2001

    The Court held that the starting points and the overall sentence were not manifestly excessive given the applicant's active role as a motor dealer who forged documents to disguise a stolen car and thereby undermined the registration system; the forgeries could properly attract partially consecutive sentencing because they involved different protected interests; the total sentence of three and a half years was not excessive and the application for leave to appeal was dismissed.
