Court of Appeal allows appeal against the severity of a six-year sentence imposed for dangerous driving causing death, and suspends the final eighteen months, on the grounds that the sentencing judge erred when he failed to take into account the need to incentivise the appellant's further rehabilitation by suspending the final part of the sentence.
Criminal law – sentencing – appeal against the severity of a six-year sentence imposed for dangerous driving causing death – whether the sentencing judge erred when he failed to take into account the need to incentivise Vincent Cadden’s further rehabilitation by suspending the final part of the sentence – sentence imposed is somewhat out of the line with other cases – final eighteen months suspended – appeal allowed.
