The judge erred in treating 2,100g of mixture as 2,100g of Ketamine narcotic; having regard to the admitted purity (17.7%) and multiple manufacturing occasions, the court inferred an overall narcotic quantity in the region of 1,000g, adopted a 15‑year notional sentence after trial (reflecting trafficking guidelines and uplift for manufacturing), then applied a full one‑third discount for the early guilty plea and substituted the sentence of 10 years' imprisonment.
