Regina v Scamaronie [1992] 13 Cr App R (S)
1992
CACD

Criminal Sentencing
A senior Peruvian diplomat was involved in importing a large quantity of cocaine with the aid of diplomatic paraphernalia; he was using, amongst other things, a Peruvian diplomatic pouch. He was identified by the judge as a senior figure in the Peruvian drug industry. He was working in this case with another, who was also identified as a prime mover. He eventually pleaded guilty to being concerned in the importation of a Class A drug. The drug in question was cocaine, almost 20 kgs, at 95% purity, with a street value marginally in excess of £4 million, that is in March 1989, and imported through Heathrow Airport. The sentence which had been passed was 20 years. The appellant, the Peruvian diplomat, had been regarded as more deeply involved than the other appellant who also received 20 years. The appellant had been given a discount for his plea of guilty in the sentence of 20 years, and the Court of Appeal said this: "Suffice to say that the learned judge stated in terms that he was discounting this sentence to give effect to the plea and to the assistance given regarding Roman. We have no doubt that he was doing as he stated. We believe, indeed, that those mitigating factors are properly reflected in the sentence passed. But for them we have no doubt that the appropriate sentence in this case ... would have been in the region of 25 years, or perhaps even more. It certainly cannot be said that a sentence of 20 years of itself indicates a failure to take proper account of the mitigating factors here present."

Regina v Theivendran (1992) 13 Cr App R (S) 601
1992
CACD

Criminal Sentencing, Insolvency
For eight offences of being concerned with the management of a company whilst an undischarged bankrupt, a sentence of nine months' imprisonment was reduced to six months. There had been a breach of the order but there had been no dishonesty, and indeed any deficiency had been paid off after winding up, and there had been no previous offences of a similar kind, a possible aggravating feature. A submission that a sentence of imprisonment would be wrong in principle, where there was a plain flouting of the order but no dishonesty, was rejected. If the contravention had been flagrant, that is to say deliberate or reckless, a custodial sentence would in principle be appropriate.
