    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACC131/2024

    The Court allowed the appellant's sentence appeal, finding the aggregate sentence was manifestly excessive relative to the applicant's actual culpability compared with co‑defendants; it recalibrated the starting point for count 8 to 39 months, applied a one‑third guilty plea discount and a three‑month delay reduction to yield 23 months for count 8, ordered 4 months of the 11‑month sentence on count 3 to run consecutively to the 23 months (total effective sentence 27 months), and substituted the sentences accordingly.
