The trial judge either overestimated the basic appropriate period or failed to give sufficient weight to strong mitigating factors; the offences are of sufficient gravity to require immediate custody but, after proper allowance for mitigation and guilty plea, the appropriate sentence is one year imprisonment and the Court of Appeal varied the original two‑year sentence to one year.
