Regina v Atkins: CACD 28 Nov 2001

Where an appeal court dealt with an appeal on sentence for a young offender, it was very helpful to have available a report from the institution at which he was held with regard to any progress made since his arrival. It is particularly important to have such a report when no pre-sentence report was available.
