    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACC237/2005

    The court held the sentencing judge's 4-year starting point was within the permissible range given the applicant's active participation in an organised syndicate, the potential for sizeable loss, and the need for deterrence in credit card fraud cases; therefore the sentence of 32 months (after plea discount) was not manifestly excessive and the application for leave to appeal was dismissed.
