Regina v Bird: CACD 3 Dec 2004

The defendant appealed the imposition of a determinate sentence followed by an extended sentence for offences of cruelty to a child, rape and inflicting grievous bodily harm.
Held: Some of the offences had taken place before the regime of extended sentences was introduced. Though one extended sentence should not follow another, there was no reason why an extended sentence should not follow a determinate one. In this case however the sentences were varied.
