The High Court held that the District Court's starting point of two years six months for possession of cannabis for supply was available on the facts, the cumulative uplifts for additional offending and for breaches of bail/release were within permissible judgment, and the judge was entitled to decline a remorse discount; accordingly the appeal was dismissed and the end sentence of two years six months' imprisonment was affirmed.
