Because sentencing for ketamine had in practice been tied to the Lee Tak Kwan ecstasy guidelines prevailing at the time of the offence, imposing a sentence greater than that practice allowed would breach the principle that a heavier penalty must not be imposed than was applicable at the time; accordingly the appeal is allowed and the sentence reduced to reflect the prevailing guideline-influenced practice.
