[2002] EWCA Crim 677

An order under s.116 Powers of Criminal Courts (Sentencing) Act 2000, for a return to custody to serve an unexpired term of a sentence, was not a sentence for the purpose of s.11(3) Criminal Appeal Act 1968. Therefore the Court of Appeal had no power to order a different sentence in its place.
