Benjamin Rudd, 39, pleaded guilty to producing cannabis after police seized 57 plants from his former home on Northumberland Road in Lemington. Prosecutors reject his claim the crop was for personal use and allege at least some was for onward sale, so the court ordered a Newton hearing to decide the basis for sentence.
Ndue Paluca, an Albanian jailed for 10 months in 2021 over a cannabis gang whose farms police raided in Kent and Hertfordshire, has won the right to a formal appeal against his deportation. Upper Tribunal Judge Sarah Grey set aside a first-tier finding that his crime caused serious harm, because officers seized the cannabis before it reached the streets, and sent the case to a new judge.
