[2001] EWCA Crim 2398

A specified period of six years imposed under an automatic life sentence for possessing a firearm with intent to commit an indictable offence was quashed and substituted with a term of five years because the judge had indicated a notional determinative sentence of ten years' imprisonment and there were no circumstances to justify fixing the period at more than half the notional determinative sentence.
