- Court of Appeal
The Court held the District Court correctly set the starting point by reference to R v AM and correctly applied a 20% discount combining prior good character and limited weight from the s27 report; the defendant's prolonged, multi‑victim offending and lack of remorse substantially limited mitigating credit so the end sentence of eight years seven months was within permissible range and not manifestly excessive.
