Leave to appeal was granted limited to the ground that it is reasonably arguable the Court of Appeal departed from the settled principle that sentencing should follow the guideline/tariff prevailing at the time of the offence; leave was granted additionally for the 5th and 6th applicants on the distinct ground that the Court of Appeal may have failed properly to consider section 109A CPRO; all other grounds and the certified questions were refused as either answered by prior authority or lacking sufficient merit.
