- High Court
Three convictions based on amended charges with maximum three-month penalties were filed and amended outside the six-month limit under CPA s25(3)(a)(i) and are nullities and therefore quashed; the remaining appeal against sentence is dismissed because the starting point, uplift for personal aggravating factors and refusal to allow restorative justice discount produced a sentence that was not manifestly excessive and is within the permissible range after applying Moses methodology.
