The appellant had been convicted of robbery, and sentenced to seven years. The judge had added a sentence for possession of a prohibited weapon (a gas cannister) of three years consecutive. The defendant appealed the sentence.
Held: It was correct to make a sentence for the use of weapons run consecutive to the main offence. If Clarke suggested a consecutive sentence was not appropriate than it should be recognised that that was no longer correct. Even so the court must still look at the totality of the sentence.
