- CACC369/2019
The Court held the sentencing judge did not err in principle or impose manifestly excessive sentences. Given the international, organised and professional nature of the offences, the substantial loss and use of a weapon in Charge 2, and multiple offences in a short span, the notional starting points and the application of the totality principle were appropriate; the applications for leave to appeal against sentence were dismissed.
