Page v Law Officers of the Crown

Court of Appeal

Application for leave to appeal against Sentence; on the basis that the sentences imposed were manifestly excessive; with it pointed out that no Class A drugs were found in the Applicant’s possession, the offending came to light through the voluntary provision of passcodes to the phones seized, but where no quantifiable amounts of MDMA could be ascertained and there was no evidence of actual supply of Class A drugs. The grounds also cover the wrongness of the Royal Court declining to give the Applicant full credit for his co-operation and early guilty pleas and a final ground relates to the extent of the continuity of the offending in respect of Class A drugs.
