The accused was 27 years old and he had a prior criminal record for property offences and several failures to comply with court orders. He had abused illicit street drugs since his early teens and had surrounded himself with individuals who were immersed in the drug subculture. The accused had completed grade 11, but left school to work full time, had strong family support and recently started a new common-law relationship, changed his peer group and had abstained from the use of illicit drugs for about 18 months. Although the pre-sentence report was generally positive, the court concluded that due to the prior convictions for breaching court orders, he was a risk to re-offend in the community, and concluded that a CSO would not be consistent with the principles of denunciation and deterrence.

The accused had been in pre-trial custody for 6 months prior to sentencing, and as a result, the effective sentence of imprisonment was 28 months. The focus of the accused's appeal was that the sentence imposed for the 91 tablets of ecstasy was harsh and excessive, since ecstasy was a CDSA schedule III substance with lower maximum penalties than the schedule I substance [cocaine], and the sentencing judge should have taken that difference into account. The accused was 20 years old, he had prior convictions for failure to comply with court orders, but no prior drug convictions. The pre-sentence report was found to be "discouraging" and the probation officer believed that the accused was a high risk to re-offend." {{summfrom|Cleghorn|gl4jx#par28|2015 NSPC 54}} {{FindOthers|1gw7n}}  {{keywords|}} }}
