Regina v Stannard; Regina v A; Regina v Clarkson

Court of Appeal (Criminal Division)

“Where a defendant was before the court to be sentenced for offences committed both before and after April 4, 2005, when the dangerous offender provisions of the Criminal Justice Act 2003 came into force, distinct statutory provisions applied but that did not mean that if the offences committed before April 4, 2005 were more serious than those committed after that date a sentence of imprisonment for public protection could not be imposed.”
