    Court
    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACC43/2016

    The Court held the sentencing judge did not err in principle: the combined approach for the mixed drugs offence and the enhancement for use of a minor were justified, the applicant was properly sentenced as mastermind in the international conspiracy, separate incidents justified separate starting points with partial consecutive time, and the resulting total sentence of 23 years 4 months (notional starting point 35 years) was not manifestly excessive; therefore the application for leave to appeal against sentence was dismissed.
