King v Nathan Phair and King v Padraig Toher
In this judgment the Court of Appeal provides guidance on the credit to be given for a late guilty plea where upon arraignment further evidence is outstanding.
Toher - Renewed application for leave to appeal a sentence of 12 years imprisonment - manslaughter – GBI by dangerous driving x 2 – doing an act intending to pervert the course of justice – conspiracy to possess a class A drug (cocaine) – whether the judge’s end point before reduction for the plea of guilty was manifestly excessive – whether the judge was wrong in principle to impose a sentence of four years for the drug offence and three years for perverting the course of justice – whether the judge provided sufficient reduction for the guilty plea – leave granted – appeal allowed - sentence reduced to 11 years to reflect the early guilty plea and remorse – driving disqualification of 10 years untouched
Phair - application to appeal a sentence of 11 years imprisonment and 15 year driving disqualification with leave of the single judge as to starting point – causing death by dangerous driving – causing GBI by dangerous driving – causing death by driving whilst unlicenced and uninsured – causing GBI by driving whilst unlicenced and uninsured – supplying a class A drug (cocaine) – whether the starting point of 13 years before mitigation was manifestly excessive – whether the court provided enough by way of mitigation - whether the drug offence was over sentenced – whether the 15 year driving disqualification was excessive – appeal dismissed save the period of disqualification reduced to 10 years.
