[2012] EWCA Crim 2182

A sentence of four-and-a-half years' imprisonment imposed following an offender's conviction for false imprisonment of his next-door neighbour was manifestly excessive, despite an element of enticement and bullying, given the relatively short duration of the period of imprisonment. The appropriate sentence was three years and nine months' imprisonment.
