[2008] EWCA Crim 700

In the circumstances, a custodial sentence of 18 months' imprisonment imposed on the appellant for inflicting serious injuries on the complainant in a nightclub was entirely appropriate; however, the extended sentence of three years that had been imposed was quashed in the light of additional material before the court to the effect that he no longer represented a risk of significant harm to the public as a result of further offending.
