Thomas,R. v
Thomas,R. v [2017] SHCA 1 (16 September 2017)
The sentencing judge was correct to apply the England and Wales Sentencing Guidelines and not to discount sentences for differing early release provisions. However, a small reduction in the overall sentence is warranted to reflect totality, by directing that sentences on counts 5 and 7 be served concurrently rather than consecutively.
