[2013] EWCA Crim 2594

Where an offender had been sentenced to 18 months' imprisonment for possessing an offensive weapon during the operational period of an earlier five-month suspended sentence, the sentencing judge, in deciding to activate the suspended sentence, should have given some credit for the offender's observance of a six-month curfew requirement that had been imposed with the suspended sentence.
