‘Possess Prohibited Drug’ Offence Sentenced to Conditional Release Order without Conviction, No Criminal Record

AH was charged with ‘Possess Prohibited Drug’ contrary to section 10(1)(a) of the Crimes (Sentencing Procedure) Act 1999.

Chris Cole represented AH at the Waverley Local Court. The presiding Magistrate sentenced AH to a Conditional Release Order (without conviction) subject to good behaviour for a period of six months.  

This was an outstanding result for AH who regularly travels to the USA for work. A criminal conviction would jeopardise his continued employment
