Sentence - Confiscation order
R v Bagnall and another: Court of Appeal, Criminal Division (Lord Justice Moses, Mrs Justice Macur and Mrs Justice Sharp): 18 April 2012
The Court of Appeal, Criminal Division, in allowing an appeal against the first defendant's confiscation order, held that the judge had erred in adding to the amount of the benefit the sum of £200,000 and accordingly, the amount assessed in it as benefit would be reduced by £200,000. In relation to the appeal against the second defendant's confiscation order, the court held that there could be no question of absence of proportionality and dismissed the appeal.
