- CACC38/2018
The Court found the applicant did not offer a timely plea before 6 December 2017 so the full one-third timely-plea reduction did not apply; the 50% discount imposed by the judge included an unwarranted one-third element and therefore produced a windfall; there was insufficient independent evidence of real and imminent threats to justify increasing the assistance discount beyond 50%; the Form 8 enhancement was properly applied; accordingly the renewed application for leave to appeal was refused and the appeal dismissed.
