- Court of Appeal
The Court held the District Court was entitled to classify the appellant as 'leading' because he alone organised, paid for and directed multiple imports within New Zealand, the quantities were commercial in scale even if the operation was unsophisticated, the reduction for purity to a nine-year starting point was appropriate, and a combined 10.5% discount for ADHD and addiction was within range given the weak causal link to large-scale importing; extension of time to appeal was granted and the appeal dismissed.
