[2012] EWCA Crim 1412

A judge had been justified in imposing a sentence of 12 months' imprisonment on an offender who had pleaded guilty to breach of a restraining order. The order had been imposed after the offender stabbed his wife in the presence of their children. His threat over the telephone, repeated to his young daughter, to kill his wife and her new partner had caused significant harm.
