The Case
The appeal against sentence would be allowed in a case in which the judge had ordered a sentence of 17 months' detention in a young offender institution to run consecutively to a period of recall for previous sentence. In the instant case, the judge and counsel in the case had overlooked of the Criminal Justice Act 2003 Act and his order was unlawful. Accordingly, the order would be quashed and the sentence of 17 months' detention in a young offender institution would be ordered to run from the date on which it had been imposed.
