- Court of Appeal
Leave to bring a second appeal is granted only for the limited purpose of correcting the error that three convictions (Charges 1,4 and 11) could not lawfully attract imprisonment because the offender was under 18 at the time; the imprisonment terms on those charges are quashed and replaced by convictions and discharges; no other error found in the High Court's sentencing approach, including the 12-year starting point and discounts applied, and the rest of the sentence stands.
