Court

Ben Brown successful in the Court of Appeal.

07/11/2022

Ben appeared at the Court of Appeal (Criminal Division) and successfully argued that the length of a prison sentence passed for the offence of ABH was manifestly excessive.

The Court was persuaded that the sentencing Judge had given too little weight to the Defendant’s mitigating factors and had taken a starting point which was too high when applying the Sentencing Guidelines. 

Ben was instructed by Siân Eglington of Dalton Holmes Gray.
