    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACC71/2022

    The Court dismissed the application because the sentencing judge applied established authorities and principles when setting starting points, applying a 6‑month uplift for aggravating features (joint enterprise, use of tools, prior similar conviction, cross‑border offending) and ordering the sentences to run consecutively; there was no error of principle or manifest excess warranting leave to appeal.
