Sentence Appeals
Criminal Appeals
If a Crown Court Sentence is to be challenged then it is necessary to show that the sentence was manifestly excessive . An appeal may also arise where the totality of sentencing may be excessive .
Sentencing Law can be very complex particularly with a variety of different sentence types that need to be considered including:
- Life Sentences
- Sentences for Public Protection
- Extended Sentences
- Youth Detention Sentences
- Fixed Sentences
- Impact of multiple or combined consecutive and concurrent sentences
- Ancillary Orders
In recent years the sentencing regime has been codified under the Sentencing Act 2020 and many sentences are calculated in accordance with relevant sentencing guidelines which despite their aim to add consistency still give rise to lots of judicial errors.
Sadly it remains a possibility that your sentence may be incorrect or manifestly excessive and we can offer advice on whether your sentence can be challenged.
