In
R
v.
Docherty
[
2016
]
UKSC
62
,
paragraph
45
,
the
United
Kingdom
Supreme
Court
further
examined
the
principle
of
lex
mitior
as
set
out
by
the
Grand
Chamber
in
Scoppola
(
no
.
2
)
.
The
UK
Supreme
Court
held
that
the
principle
does
not
take
on
the
wider
meaning
of
requiring
a
Court
to
examine
all
the
possible
intervening
rules
or
practices
from
the
time
of
the
offence
to
sentencing
with
a
view
to
finding
the
most
favourable
rule
to
the
defendant
.
The
Supreme
Court
further
expressed
the
view
that
there
was
“
no
injustice
to
a
defendant
to
be
sentenced
according
…
to
the
law
as
it
existed
at
the
time
of
his
offence
”
,
but
that
it
was
another
matter
to
say
“
that
he
should
be
sentenced
according
to
a
practice
which
did
not
obtain
when
he
committed
the
offence
…
