[2012] EWCA Crim 2924

Under the Criminal Justice Act 2003 Sch.21 para.5 it was the sentencing judge's responsibility to make an assessment of whether the seriousness of the offence was particularly high, and if so what minimum term should reflect that seriousness. Schedule 21 was not a sentencing grid, and para.5 did not set a non-reducible starting point.
