The Case

The defendants' sentences of 18-month detention and training orders were disparate from the co-defendant's sentence of a 24-month detention and training order because the judge had failed to take sufficient account of the fact that preceding sentence, the defendants had been remanded in custody for five months, whilst the co-defendant had been released on bail.
