- Court of Appeal
The judge was entitled to infer from the evidence and the appellant's conduct that the appellant was an organiser rather than a mere courier; the one‑year uplift from the courier starting point was justified; the 12‑year sentence was not manifestly excessive given the need for deterrence and the limited weight to be given to personal mitigation in serious drug importation offending.
