Leave to appeal out of time was refused because the applicant's 26‑month delay was substantial and inadequately explained, and the proposed appeal lacked merit: the sentence of 10 years and 4 months was within the appropriate range given the 380g heroin and the international importation aggravating factor, a 15‑year starting point was justified and a one‑third discount for guilty plea was properly applied; the applicant's HIV did not justify further reduction and disparity with another judge's sentence did not merit interference.
