This case concerned a large-scale credit card fraud. The defendant accepted aspects of the case and so the defence team negotiated with the Prosecution to secure a good basis of plea, to give the defendant the best opportunity when he came to being sentenced. The basis of plea that was agreed also managed to distinguish this defendant from others in the conspiracy which assisted when he fell to be sentenced. Full mitigation was forwarded on his behalf and the defendant secured a non-custodial sentence.
