What is the appropriate sentence for a man who pleaded guilty to a charge of assault with intent to pervert the course of justice?

Ontario, Canada


The following excerpt is from R. v. Ruhl, 2012 ONCJ 569 (CanLII):

[57] In considering the appropriate sentence, I consider the comments of the court in Regina v. Costa, [1996] O.J. No. 299 when dealing with the sentence of a crime of a much more serious nature than that before the court, the court stated at paragraph 35 as follows: “There is, however no standard sentence for there is neither standard crime nor standard criminal. To be certain there are various principles whose application governs the imposition of sentence in any case. Their application, however, does not always mandate the same result.”
