[2009] EWCA Crim 1028

A sentence of imprisonment for public protection with a notional determinate term of four years' imprisonment was manifestly excessive where an offender had falsely imprisoned his father, having already incurred a previous conviction for a similar offence against his mother. A determinate sentence of two years' imprisonment was substituted for the original term.
