Lord Justice Holroyde:

The appellant pleaded guilty to three offences of fraudulent evasion of the prohibition on importation of controlled drugs, and one offence of possession of cannabis with intent to supply. For each offence, he was sentenced to concurrent terms of 14 months’ imprisonment, suspended for 24 months. With the leave of the full court, he appealed against his convictions. At the conclusion of the hearing, on 1 July 2025, we announced our decision that the appeal must be dismissed, and stated that we would give our reasons in writing at a later date. This we now do.
