Case data
Every number and detail the sources state, with the sources that state it.
The article gives the sitting only as October 16; 2026 is inferred from its 30 October 2026 publication date.
No weight or amount was given for the cannabis possessed, so no kilograms can be recorded.
No arrest date, plea or separate cannabis-only penalty breakdown was reported; the fine, costs and ban cover the combined cannabis and motoring matters.
Only one accessible account of this case was found after searching in English; the magistrates roundup is the sole source.
The same roundup records a separate Daniel Millar case involving cannabis and heroin in Hatfield, a different event left out here.
