The magistrate found the two offences were not part of one transaction because they occurred at different dates, times and places and involved different conduct; therefore concurrency was inappropriate. Given the accused's prior convictions and the serious public interest in deterrent sentencing for drug offences, a 10‑month sentence to run after the existing 5‑year sentence was appropriate and did not produce a crushing totality.
