- Court of Appeal
The Court allowed the appeal in part because some reduction for overlap in culpability was required (a seven month reduction to the cumulated starting point) and a discrete 10% discount was warranted for voluntary return to face charges; accordingly the 15 month sentence for charge one was quashed and replaced with four months, producing a final overall sentence of two years and seven months imprisonment.
