The law regarding dealing or supply of drugs surrounds the intention of passing a controlled substance to someone else. This means that even if you are sharing a cannabis joint with friends, you can still be liable.

The intention (whether for personal use only, which must be proven) and classification of the drugs supplied will influence whether the Magistrates’ or Crown Court will deal with your case.

Here, supplying drugs will be separated into actual supply, aggravated supply that has surrounding circumstances, offer to supply, involvement or concern in supply, and possession with intent to supply.

The overall sentence will also be determined by factors such as the quality and quantity of drugs, and whether dealing has been cited to be part of a larger operation.

In a larger operation, the court will then assess what role you have taken (leadership, significant or lesser involvement) to determine your sentence.

There are various crimes related to robbery & theft which can lead to significant punishment. The serious nature of the misconduct therefore means those accused would be well advised to seek representation and advice from a fully qualified criminal defence solicitor.
