The judge erred in principle by adopting the statutory maximum for the charged offence as the starting point and by taking into account prosecutorial failures to prefer more serious or additional charges; on reassessment of the applicant's role confined to the offence charged the appropriate sentence is 18 months imprisonment with no deduction for trial.
