The application for leave to appeal against sentence was refused because the applicant failed to demonstrate that he had provided assistance of practical value to the authorities; police certifications and investigations showed the information was unreliable and there was no reasonably arguable ground of appeal based on assistance, and absent exceptional circumstances the court will not override the authorities' assessment.
