The court refused the 1st applicant leave to appeal out of time and refused the 2nd applicant leave to appeal against sentence, holding that the 1st applicant's absconding and the unconvincing explanation barred the late adducing of evidence and that the sentencing judge's starting points (10 years for each conspiracy to defraud) and adjustments were appropriate; the distinctions drawn between roles were rational and the aggregate sentences (12 years for the 1st accused; 10 years 6 months for the 2nd accused) were upheld as not manifestly excessive.
