		Northern Ireland - From: 1998 To: 1998 This page lists 88 cases, and was prepared on 02 April 2018. Â In re W's Application [1998] NI 19 1998 QBNI Girvan J Northern Ireland 1 Citers Â Regina v McIlwaine [1998] NI 136 1998 CANI MacDermott LJ Northern Ireland, Criminal Sentencing The court dismissed an appeal against a sentence of four years imprisonment for possession of 9.88 kilos of cannabis resin with a street value of £100,000: "So we return to the question—was this sentence manifestly excessive? We are satisfied that it was not. Even allowing for the early guilty plea we would not have interfered with a five-year sentence. This was a substantial quantity of cannabis, no assistance was given to the police by the appellant who already had a relevant conviction. We would repeat yet again—those who offend in this way will on conviction receive lengthy custodial sentences. The public is entitled to be protected from the evil of drug abuse and it is the duty of judges in this jurisdiction to make it clear that they will seek to discourage anyone from participating in that trade." 1 Citers Â Regina v Coates Unreported, 1998 1998 CANI MacDermott LJ Northern Ireland, Criminal Sentencing The Court dismissed an appeal against a sentence of 10 years' imprisonment imposed for armed robbery of almost Â£9,000 from a bank: "Armed robbery at banks is a growing form of criminal activity and the efforts of the courts to deter do not appear to be achieving appreciable success. Accordingly we are satisfied that the present situation requires us to . . to affirm that 15 years is the correct starting point when seeking to sentence a prisoner convicted of armed robbery . . that figure will, of course, be varied to reflect relevant aggravating and mitigating factors." 1 Citers Â Re Molloy's Application [1998] NI 78 1998 CANI Carswell LCJ Criminal Practice, Northern Ireland 1 Cites Â In re W's Application [1998] NI 219 2 Jan 1998 CANI Northern Ireland 1 Cites Â (Un-named) [1997] NISSCSC C26/97(IB) 3 Jan 1998 NISSCS Northern Ireland, Benefits [ Bailii ] Â (Un-named) [1997] NISSCSC C68/97(DLA) 13 Jan 1998 NISSCS Northern Ireland, Benefits [ Bailii ] Â (Un-named) [1997] NISSCSC C53/97(IB) 14 Jan 1998 NISSCS Northern Ireland, Benefits [ Bailii ] Â (Un-named) [1997] NISSCSC C10/97(IB) 15 Jan 1998 NISSCS Northern Ireland, Benefits [ Bailii ] Â (Un-named) [1997] NISSCSC C54/97(DLA) 16 Jan 1998 NISSCS Northern Ireland, Benefits [ Bailii ] Â (Un-named) [1997] NISSCSC C2/97(AA) 23 Jan 1998 NISSCS Northern Ireland, Benefits [ Bailii ] Â (Un-named) [1997] NISSCSC C18/97(IB) 23 Jan 1998 NISSCS Northern Ireland, Benefits [ Bailii ] Â (Un-named) [1998] NISSCSC C4/98(DLA) 23 Jan 1998 NISSCS Northern Ireland, Benefits [ Bailii ] Â (Un-named) [1997] NISSCSC C67/97(DLA) 26 Jan 1998 NISSCS Northern Ireland, Benefits [ Bailii ] Â (Un-named) [1998] NISSCSC C3/98(DLA) 26 Jan 1998 NISSCS Northern Ireland, Benefits [ Bailii ] Â (Un-named) [1997] NISSCSC C9/97(DLA) 26 Jan 1998 NISSCS Northern Ireland, Benefits [ Bailii ] Â (Un-named) [1997] NISSCSC C20/97(IB) 26 Jan 1998 NISSCS Northern Ireland, Benefits [ Bailii ] Â (Un-named) [1997] NISSCSC A114/97(IB) 2 Feb 1998 NISSCS Northern Ireland, Benefits [ Bailii ] Â (Un-named) [1997] NISSCSC C4/97(IS) 4 Feb 1998 NISSCS Northern Ireland, Benefits [ Bailii ] Â (Un-named) [1998] NISSCSC C10/98(IB) 12 Feb 1998 NISSCS Northern Ireland, Benefits [ Bailii ] Â (Un-named) Incapacity Benefit [1998] NISSCSC C15/98(IB) 18 Feb 1998 NISSCS Northern Ireland, Benefits Application by the claimant for leave to appeal against the decision of a Social Security Appeal Tribunal which held that claimant was not entitled to incapacity benefit from and including 10 June 1996 as he only scored 12 points in the All Work Test.

[1998] NI 358 11 Nov 1998 CANI Carswell LCJ Defamation, Northern Ireland A meeting was not a public meeting just because the public attended without objection. A press conference to which press only had had invitations was not as such public, and a report of it was not protected under the Act Defamation Act (Northern Ireland) 1955 7 Sch para 9 1 Cites 1 Citers Â Regina v McCullough [1998] NIECA 1; [1998] NICA 1; [1999] NI 39 16 Nov 1998 CANI Carswell LCJ Crime, Criminal Sentencing, Northern Ireland The defendant failed to appear at his trial. The judge urged the jury to 'use their common sense' in interpreting whether his non appearance indicated guilt. Even if there had been any unfairness in this, the judge's own summing up later remedied that failure. He had been sentenced to thirteen years for manslaughter committed in a serious, drunken, assault. Even though comparisons in such cases were of limited value, it was out of line with general trends, and a sentence of ten years was substituted.
