R v Dingle

In the case of R v Dingle, the applicant was convicted of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing death while adversely affected by alcohol. The applicant sought leave to appeal against the sentence imposed by the trial court, arguing that the sentence was manifestly excessive. The court was required to determine whether the sentence was appropriate in the circumstances of the case, taking into account factors such as the character of the offence, the applicant's lack of remorse, and the impact of alcohol on the incident. The court held that the sentence imposed was not manifestly excessive and dismissed the application for leave to appeal. The trial judge had considered all relevant factors and had exercised their discretion appropriately in determining the sentence.
