The Secretary of State’s appeal
25. The respondent sought permission to appeal Judge Pullig’s decision on the grounds that he had failed to consider that the appellant was a persistent offender and thus a foreign criminal, in accordance with section 117D of the 2002 Act, and that section 117C therefore applied. No challenge was made to the judge’s decision on any other basis. 26. Permission was granted on 7 July 2015.
