Regina v Kelleher: CACD 6 Nov 2008

The defendant had been convicted of fly-tipping. His activities were commercial but did not involve any dangerous or offensive waste.
Held: A prison sentence (14 months) was still capable of being proper. The defendant’s activities had been extensive and had caused substantial expense to the local authority. Parliament had since increased the maximum penalty.
