[2008] EWCA Crim 1063

In the circumstances, although there had been a continual level of domestic abuse committed by an offender, it was going too far to elevate that to the level of serious harm identified in the Criminal Justice Act 2003 s.225 and in Sch.15 and it was therefore appropriate to quash a sentence of imprisonment for public protection imposed following a conviction for making threats to kill.
