Maillet, Regina v: CACD 8 Nov 2005

Convicted following a retrial of being knowingly concerned in the fraudulent evasion of a prohibition on the importation of goods, namely 2.5 kgs of cocaine – ‘This being a case where the credibility of the applicant was of major importance, it is arguable that the judge was wrong to decline to give a good character direction as to the credibility (and possibly also as to propensity) on the ground that the applicant had been cautioned for the possession of cannabis in Denzil Road NW2 for personal use.’
