We acted for a client charged with supplying a prohibited drug as a runner within a larger syndicate. The case involved 115 grams of cocaine, along with further matters placed on a Form 1. Our client had a modest prior record and was sentenced alongside several co-accused.

The co-accused received a broad range of outcomes, including Intensive Correction Orders and full-time imprisonment. Only one co-accused, who had a very limited criminal history and faced only a single charge, received a Community Correction Order.

Despite the aggravating features in our client’s matter, the Court accepted our submissions about his rehabilitation, personal background, and the limited nature of his role. He became only the second co-accused to receive a Community Correction Order and was able to avoid a custodial sentence.

Outcome: Community Correction Order. No imprisonment.
