The Court held that the 10 year overall sentence derived from a 15 year starting point was not manifestly excessive or wrong in principle because the judge reasonably applied the combined approach and totality principle, the aggravating features (repeat trafficking convictions, offending on bail, dealing in multiple drugs) justified the starting point and no discount for own consumption could be allowed absent any quantification or basis to conclude a significant proportion was for personal use.
