[2009] EWCA Crim 1623

A sentence of 12 months' imprisonment for an offence of putting a person in fear of violence by harassment contrary to the Protection from Harassment Act 1997 s.4 was not manifestly excessive where an offender with no history of violence against his ex-partner had perpetrated a particularly nasty and sustained attack upon her.
