The trial judge did not properly apply the totality principle to the consecutive element of the sentence; the Court of Appeal allowed the appeal in part, holding that while the starting points and concurrent handling of the related corruption counts were not objectionable, the consecutive portion imposed for charges 34–38 should be reduced so that only eight months run consecutively to the main conspiracy sentence, producing an overall term of four years and two months imprisonment.
