Curry v The State of Western Australia

Simon Patrick Curry appealed against his sentence for conspiring to pervert the course of justice. The Court of Appeal considered two grounds of appeal. The first ground of appeal asserted that the appellant's sentence infringed the parity principle when regard was had to the sentences imposed on co-offenders Steven Taylor and Gary Rodgers. The second ground of appeal asserted that the appellant's overall total effective sentence infringed the first limb of the totality principle. The Court of Appeal found that neither ground of appeal was meritorious. The appeal was dismissed. Leave to appeal was refused.
