Leave to appeal against sentence out of time is granted because it is reasonably arguable the applicant should benefit from the Court of Appeal's remedial interpretation of section 118C and that the sentencing 'anchor' for the buggery offence may have been too heavy; the Court of Appeal should reassess the overall sentence in light of that and the identified aggravating factors.
