[2011] EWCA Crim 2323

Sentences of three-and-a-half and four years' imprisonment following late pleas of guilty to conspiracy to cause grievous bodily harm were unduly lenient as the judge had given too much credit for late guilty pleas and had categorised the offences as Category 2 rather than Category 1. Sentences of seven and eight years' imprisonment were imposed.
