The Court held the applicant failed to establish voluntary surrender and, even if some credit could be given, it would be limited; family hardship does not mitigate serious breach of trust involving millions and repeated offending; the judge correctly adopted an appropriate starting point under Trevor Clark, applied full credit for the guilty plea (one-third), and the resulting concurrent sentences of 4 years 4 months were not wrong in principle or manifestly excessive, so the application for leave to appeal was dismissed.
