🚨 Legal Update: Streamlined Sentencing for Multi-Drug Trafficking Cases 🚨
The Court of Appeal has recently adopted a much more straightforward approach to sentencing in cases involving the trafficking of multiple types of drugs.
In a significant shift, the court has officially abolished both the "absurdity test" and the "conversion test." This means legal practitioners and the courts will no longer need to perform complex, multi-step calculations.
