[2001] EWCA Crim 65

Where an offender had been sentenced to a mandatory term of life imprisonment, the scope available to the principle of double jeopardy in relation to the specified term was not as great as it would have been in a determinate sentence. However, the principle did still have a role to play in deciding whether the specified period was unduly lenient.
