- High Court
Where an offender has a lesser, courier/transitory role in supplying methamphetamine just above the 250g threshold, the starting point within band three may be reduced (following Su v R); the sentencing Judge had overstated the uplift for associated offending and the minimum period was unnecessary in light of time already served; accordingly the Court allowed the appeal, quashed the previous sentence and substituted a reduced determinate sentence of three years and eight months and quashed the minimum period.
