Jowitt J
Criminal Sentencing
The court considered sentencing in a video piracy case. Held: Jowitt J said: "[I]t has to be borne in mind that counterfeiting of video films is a serious offence. In effect to make and distribute pirate copies of films is to steal from the true owner of the copyright, the property for which he has to expend money in order to possess it. It is an offence really of dishonesty".

Lord Taylor of Gosforth CJ
Criminal Sentencing
Referring to the 1992 Practice Statement on sentencing following introduction of the 1991 Act, Lord Taylor of Gosforth CJ said: "The Practice Statement does not require an arithmetically precise calculation to be made. Its object was to give general guidance by alerting sentencers to the changed regime of early release and requiring them to have regard to the possible effects of passing sentences after October 1992 of the same length as those they would have passed before. Precise and calculated comparisons are not possible."

Macpherson J
Criminal Sentencing
The victim was a young woman who was tied up in her home and subjected to a variety of indecent assaults including oral sex and she was threatened with a knife. Held: The sentence of 12 years' imprisonment, imposed for false imprisonment, indecent assault and robbery was correct. The questions was posed as to whether, if the maximum of 10 years was an appropriate sentence in relation to the indecent assault, it might have been appropriate to add 2 years for the aggravating feature of the false imprisonment. "The position is that we must look to see whether there was sufficient criminality to pass a sentence of this length, and we must consider whether the overall sentence was appropriate for this appellant and these offences."
