The court dismissed the application for leave to appeal because there was no reasonable prospect of demonstrating that the total sentence of 40 months was manifestly excessive; although enhancing the immigration sentence for lack of safety equipment while also convicting on section 72 raises a real risk of double punishment, the totality was not excessive and the preferable sentencing practice is to punish the section 72 conduct separately rather than enhance the immigration starting point.
