[2010] EWCA Crim 1860

Any sentence for corruption contained a substantial element of punishment and deterrence since corruption was a cancer in commercial and public life and as such there was an expectation of immediate imprisonment, even where there was previous good character. Further, the reach and character of the corruption had an important bearing on the length of sentence.
