A discount for assistance to authorities may properly be 'very slight' where the information provided is assessed by police as being of no value and that assessment is not challenged. De Campos v R is not authority for the proposition that a discount must be given in every case where an offender provides information. A 15% discount for pleas of guilty entered on the day of trial is reasonably generous.
