Daley v The King

In *Daley v The King*, the appellant sought to appeal against a sentence imposed by the court below. The appeal was heard by Livesey P and Nicholson J.

The primary legal issue before the Court was whether the sentence imposed upon the appellant was manifestly excessive or unjust, thereby providing grounds for appellate interference.

The Court acknowledged that the sentence might appear severe when considering the appellant's favourable personal circumstances. However, it concluded that the sentence did not reach the threshold of being manifestly excessive or unjust. The Court granted the appellant permission to appeal, finding the grounds reasonably arguable, but ultimately dismissed the appeal.
