Court of Appeal dismisses cross appeals against the alleged severity/unduly leniency of a six-and-a-half-year sentence of imprisonment imposed for assault causing serious harm, on the grounds that the sentence imposed in this case does not represent a substantial departure from the norm.
Criminal law – sentencing – appeal against the severity/undue leniency of a six-and-a-half-year sentence of imprisonment – whether the judge erred by giving too much credit for mitigation – assault causing serious harm – whether the sentence imposed represented a substantial departure from what would otherwise be regarded as an appropriate sentence – actual sentence that was imposed in this case does not represent a substantial departure from the norm – director's application refused – appeal against severity also dismissed.
