Georgia-Mae Successful in Appeal Against Sentence Before Fully Constituted Court of Appeal

Georgia-Mae’s client had pleaded guilty to one offence of stalking with fear of violence. He had been sentenced in March in Hove Crown Court to 4 years and 6 months’ immediate custody.

Following the submission of written grounds of appeal and a subsequent hearing, the Court of Appeal were persuaded that the offence should have been placed in a lower category. The sentence was quashed and reduced by 18 months.

Georgia-Mae was instructed by Maria Haywood of Wannops LLP.
