[2013] EWCA Crim 1792

A sentence of 34 weeks' imprisonment imposed on an offender following his guilty plea to one count of fraud, which involved overcharging an elderly man for chimney repairs, was not manifestly excessive. The judge had been entitled to exceed the sentencing guideline and impose a deterrent sentence.
