For the first offence, Campbell was sentenced to two years’ custody and three years’ probation. For the second offence, he was sentenced to two years’ custody and two years’ probation, to be served concurrently to the first sentence. The latter sentence was the subject of this appeal. Although the parties disagreed on the range of a custodial sentence for the second offence, they both agreed that the sentence imposed should be consecutive to the sentence Campbell was serving for the first offence.

The Crown took the position that the judge’s decision to impose a concurrent sentence was grounded in error and the error had a material bearing on the sentence imposed. The Crown sought to have the concurrent sentence set aside and replaced with a consecutive sentence of three years’ custody....
