    Court
    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACC486/1986

    The appeal was allowed only as to sentence: although the original two year sentence fell within the guideline range for the quantity seized, the defendant's advanced age, long-term addiction and caregiving responsibilities were real mitigating factors warranting reduction of the sentence to one year; weak health was not treated as a decisive judicial mitigation point.
