Our client was charged with cultivating 42 cannabis plants.
He is a young man who worked in the horticulture industry with no intention to profit from the plants.
Our client was concerned about what impact a criminal conviction would have on his future employment opportunities.
After entering a plea of guilty, our defence team worked tirelessly to put our client in the best possible position for his sentence hearing.
The Court ultimately accepted our submissions in mitigation and did not impose any form of penalty.
A criminal conviction was not recorded, meaning our client was free to travel or apply for employment opportunities without the worry of a criminal conviction.
