The appeal was allowed because the 8‑month sentence was manifestly excessive given the small, unquantified amount (0.31g crystalline material containing methamphetamine) and absence of evidence that the quantity was sufficient for use; an appropriate starting point was 8 weeks' imprisonment, with an additional 2 weeks for significant prior drug convictions, resulting in a total sentence of 10 weeks immediate imprisonment.
