    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCMA249/2006

    The Court held the six month concurrent sentences were not manifestly excessive given the nature of the offences (overt consumption of midazolam in hospital), the appellant's extensive drug-related record including offending on bail, the Magistrate's consideration of DATC unsuitability and health, the proper application of a nine month starting point with a one‑third guilty plea discount and the application of concurrency; appeals dismissed.
