In a case involving ground-breaking issues and a unique set of facts, the Court of Appeal considered a prosecution argument that a sentencing judge had passed an unduly lenient sentence in a conditional consent rape case.
In refusing the application, the Court adopted significant parts of David and Alex’s written arguments in their judgment in a case which is now set to be the leading authority on the subject.
David Emanuel KC and Alex Rose of the Garden Court Crime Team were instructed to act at this appeal by Shaun Draycott of Draycott Browne Solicitors in Manchester, having not appeared in the Crown Court proceedings.
