[2013] EWCA Crim 409
Sentences of 12 years' imprisonment imposed on offenders for causing grievous bodily harm with intent were replaced with 10 years' imprisonment where, although there had a significant degree of premeditation, a vulnerable victim and a sustained or repeated attack, the injuries caused were not serious in the context of the offence so as to, by themselves, place the offence into category 1 of the sentencing guidelines.
