Renewed application for leave to appeal against three year sentence for serious organised benefit fraud.
Held: ‘with some misgivings, we have come to the conclusion that this appeal must be allowed, and that taking into account such limited personal mitigation as there was following a contested trial, the sentence of three years must be quashed and replaced by a sentence of two years’ imprisonment concurrent on each count. To that extent this appeal against sentence is allowed. ‘
