[2004] EWCA Crim 2046

A sentence that was deferred for six months was unduly lenient for an offence of causing grievous bodily harm with intent and would be increased to two years' imprisonment. The defendant's conviction was safe as, looking at the summing up as a whole, the judge had not misdirected the jury on "serious harm".
