[2001] EWCA Crim 1276

It was inappropriate to pass a longer than normal sentence, under s.2(2)(b) Criminal Justice Act 1991, consecutively to another sentence imposed on the same occasion. However, there was nothing inappropriate, but, on the contrary, it may be desirable, for a longer than normal sentence to be passed consecutively, either to a sentence passed on an earlier occasion or to a period of return ordered under s.40, which was the consequence of a sentence passed on an earlier occasion.
