▤ Verbatim text from source document
We are inviting views on some revisions to the current guidance. These changes are based on decisional practice since the last change in the guidance in 2012, and relate to:
- Step 1 – application of the 30% starting point range
- Step 3 – mitigating and aggravating factors
- Step 4 – adjustment for proportionality and specific deterrence
- Step 6 – application of reductions for leniency and settlement
The guidance has also been revised to reflect institutional changes since it was originally published.
