PUBLISHED May 22, 2008
SHARE

[2008] EWCA Crim 1341

It was only in the most exceptional circumstances that a person convicted of perverting the course of justice would not receive an immediate sentence of imprisonment; a suspended sentence was unduly lenient where the offence involved deliberate concealment of the offender's identity to avoid detection.
