[2013] EWCA Crim 2402

The sentencing guideline for drug offences was the correct one to use when passing sentence for conspiracy to supply heroin. However, a judge had erred in determining the appropriate category of offending by reference to the weight of heroin once "cut" for sale at street level. The appropriate weight was the actual weight seized.
