The Court dismissed the application; the sentencing judge did not err in principle or quantum: kidnapping committed as debt enforcement warranted a seven-year starting point reduced to 4 years 8 months for plea, possession of a live-capable homemade pistol for intended robbery warranted a twelve-year starting point reduced to eight years, and because the offences were separate in time there was no justification for concurrency — consecutive sentences were appropriate and within the judge's discretion.
