Sentencing BillContribution
The amendment extends the compliance period to 14 days, which is reasonable and proportionate, particularly having regard to the time limit of 28 days for a victim to seek an unduly lenient sentence review. If victims are to navigate that legal process within a window of 28 days, it is not unreasonable to expect the courts to address the issue of sentencing remarks within 14 days.
