Leave to appeal against sentence out of time was refused because the applicant provided no credible or satisfactory justification for the substantial and inordinate delay and, on substantive assessment, there were no reasonably arguable grounds of appeal: the sentencing starting points were within proper bounds and any small arithmetic discrepancy could be justified by the applicant’s greater role and prior conviction; issues about the unusual ‘no separate penalty’ did not establish merit sufficient to overcome the delay objection.
