[2011] EWCA Crim 2622

When sentencing an offender for arson, the judge had acted unlawfully by increasing the notional determinate sentence so as to ensure that a sentence of imprisonment for public protection could be passed. The preconditions for the imposition of such a sentence were not met in the instant case.
