Judges and magistrates in England and Wales have to sentence according to guidelines set by the Sentencing Council, unless it would be unjust to do so. Judges and magistrates have the discretion to depart from sentencing guidelines if they think it would be in the interest of justice to do so given all the circumstances of a particular case.
