Where the appropriate starting point for sentence in the District Court exceeds the statutory maximum of seven years the judge must still determine the correct starting point but must calculate the discount for a guilty plea from the seven year maximum; applying that principle and giving a substantial discount for an early plea the Court varied the sentence from six years to five years imprisonment.
