The Court held that the judge's starting point of 24 years was appropriate for the quantity of heroin involved; a one‑third reduction for a timely guilty plea to reach 16 years was correct; the applicant's age and foreign status did not justify further reduction; therefore the sentence was not wrong in principle or manifestly excessive and leave to appeal was refused.
