  1. THE VICE-PRESIDENT: I need to pronounce the decision of the court, comprising myself and Garnham J, in the case of Caydon Hutchinson, whose appeal was heard and determined on 3 October 2024.

  2. It is necessary to reopen the determination in order to correct an error. The court, in allowing the appeal and quashing the sentence imposed below, purported to impose a sentence of three years' detention in a young offender institution. By reason of the appellant's age at the date of his conviction the court had no power to impose that sentence.

  3. We therefore reopen the determination. We set aside the sentence previously imposed and substitute for it a sentence of three years' detention pursuant to section 250 of the Sentencing Code.

  4. We direct, pursuant to section 240A of the Criminal Justice Act 2003, that 198 days will count as time served as part of that sentence to reflect the period when the appellant was on bail subject to a qualifying curfew.

    5.
