NON-COUNSEL APPLICATION
_________
J U D G M E N T
LADY JUSTICE CARR:
Following his earlier guilty pleas, the applicant was sentenced on 16 January 2020 in the Crown Court at Chelmsford to a total sentence of 59 months' imprisonment, concurrent sentences of equal length being imposed on two counts of being concerned in the supply of class A drugs, contrary to section 4(3)(b) of the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971.
This is his application for an extension of time of 670 days for leave to appeal sentence, that application having been referred directly to us by the Registrar. The only issue raised concerns the application of the credit period for the purposes of section 240A of the Criminal Justice Act 2003 in respect of 150 days spent on qualifying curfew. We grant the necessary extension of time and we grant leave.
As is agreed by the prosecution, 75 days should count towards the applicant's sentence under section 240A of the Criminal Justice Act 2003. To this extent the appeal will be allowed and the sentence amended accordingly.
Epiq Europe Ltd hereby certify that the above is an accurate and complete record of the proceedings or part thereof.
