Author: Alured Darlington, Hanwell Chambers @ 5:41:11 PMOn 27 February 2012 a new drug guideline came into effect which reduced the sentences for those who were genuine drug mules considerably, and also for the first time encouraged mitigation in such cases, but the Court of Appeal in R v Boakye and others in April 2012 ruled that the guidelines were not to operate retrospectively.
