The Case
In the circumstances of the instant case, there had been no legitimate expectation raised as to the imposition of a non-custodial sentence and the erroneous treatment of the stage at which a plea of guilty had been entered had had no effect. Accordingly, the defendant's sentence of a two-year detention and training order had been appropriate.
