The Court held that the appropriate starting point for Charge 1 is five years (not six); absence of life‑saving and fire‑fighting equipment are aggravating factors to be recognised henceforth; the judge was entitled to starting points of 18 months for Charge 2 and three months for Charge 3; the sentencing order that Charges 2 and 3 run concurrently with each other but consecutively to Charge 1 was appropriate; applying a one‑third discount for plea, Charge 1 is reduced to three years and four months producing a total effective sentence of four years and four months.
