    Court of Appeal

    CACC129/1996

    The Court held the trial judge erred in failing to give additional discount for assistance beyond the ordinary plea discount and in the application of the totality principle; having assessed the assistance actually given (statement and readiness/attendance to give evidence) the appropriate reduction on the most serious count was 9 months, reducing the sentence on the fourth count from four years to three years three months, with sentences to be served concurrently.
