Judge Garland lacked accurate information about the earlier District Court sentencing, so his cumulative sentence was manifestly excessive; the correct approach was to reassess the receiving charge in the context of Judge Maze's overall sentencing and impose a reduced cumulative three months' imprisonment for the November receiving offence while confirming the earlier cancellation of community work and granting leave to appeal out of time.
