Hon Stock JA:

1.With some hesitation, I grant leave to appeal against these sentences.  I do so only because the respondent says that the totality of the two sentences having been ordered to run wholly consecutively is on the high side and that the starting point adopted for the dealing with proceeds offence also appears high.  Whilst I am not convinced of the merits of this appeal I think the matter is worth consideration by a full court.

Applicant, Javid Kamran, in person
