[2013] EWCA Crim 800

The sentencing guidelines on drugs offences applied to offences involving the supply of drugs which were charged as a conspiracy. Conspiracies involving street dealing were not intended to be restricted to category 3, in which the starting point was not based on quantity; categories of offence were to be assessed in relation to the harm done, which was itself reflective of the amount of the drug put into circulation.
