[2025] EWHC 1956 (Admin)

The Judge was bound to make her decision on the material and submissions before her. As I have indicated, in respect of the categorisation of the frauds under domestic sentencing guidelines, it was certainly no fault of hers that she was directed to the incorrect offence category. Equally, in respect of the article 8 balance, the landscape has moved on. I have indicated to counsel that I consider it appropriate to stand back in Love terms and reassess the situation as it has developed, especially since the appellant has now served the entirety of the AW1 sentence. In this section, I examine the Judge’s decision on its own terms, before proceeding to the Love analysis.
