R v Marshall

A discharge was inappropriate because aggravating factors (organized, for‑profit trafficking, repeated warnings, public risk, proliferation of illegal dispensaries) outweighed mitigating factors; a short custodial disposition served deterrence and denunciation, but a conditional sentence satisfied sentencing objectives and community safety; therefore impose a 6‑month CSO for Cannabis Act s.10(2), a concurrent 12‑month CSO for Excise Act s.158.1(b), a mandatory Excise Act fine of $8,762.50, a Criminal Code s.109 firearm prohibition, and forfeiture of seized property.

Criminal law 2022 NSSC 133

R. v. Terrio

Given the offender's lack of prior record, mitigating personal circumstances (mental health, genuine albeit misguided belief, cooperation, references), early guilty plea and rehabilitative prospects, and because a conditional discharge would not be contrary to the public interest despite the seriousness of CDSA offences, the appropriate sentence is a 12-month conditional discharge with specified probation conditions; absolute discharge and custodial sentence were rejected.

  • Possession for the purpose of trafficking
  • Conditional discharge
  • Forfeiture
  • Firearms prohibition
  • Victim surcharge waiver
  • Mitigating factors
