LORD JUSTICE HOLROYDE: I shall ask Mr Justice Bryan to give the judgment of the court.
MR JUSTICE BRYAN:
"My revised starting point for each offence, 15 months, which seems to me a proper uplift in the circumstances."
(1) Insufficient weight was given to the principle of totality and concurrent sentences should have been passed, or a significant further reduction applied if the sentences were to be consecutive; and/or
(2) Insufficient weight was given to the fact that this offending pre-dated offending for which the appellant had already served a substantial custodial sentence.
