The Court held that a Drug Addiction Treatment Centre order was inappropriate for possession of approximately 200g of ketamine given the very high risk of dissemination and the need for deterrence; the original sentence was therefore manifestly inadequate and wrong in principle and should be set aside and substituted by a custodial sentence of two years' imprisonment (taking into account allowance for early plea, time already served and the distress of having sentence increased).
