When it comes to cannabis offences, Nicholls & Nicholls are consistently instructed by business owners and individuals who are affected by the changes in the law and the regulation of CBD and THC products. This is because our expertise & results in this niche area are quickly becoming recognised.
The firm has successfully represented several businesses and directors with shops and production systems around the UK with international links that are directly related to the regulations and legislation here.
Our most recent cannabis case involved a young man accused of possession with intent to supply the drug on a large scale and accused of the cultivation. This is the most common offence we find being used by the police and CPS no matter the type of operation (shop front to online sales).
Unfortunately it’s not a quick process in the criminal justice system. This client has been facing these proceedings for several years with restrictions on his liberty for that time. Not only did we continually make applications to reduce the restrictions he faced successfully, we also continued with our submissions for the removal of these charges completely.
After representations were made and a meticulous organisation of the defence case, trainee solicitor, Nuno Dentampol, with the assistance of Jack Coyne from 2BR barrister chambers, obtained the right result. On the day of trial, the crown prosecution service conceded to our case and offered no evidence. The judge recorded a Not Guilty verdict and there are no more restrictions on our client’s movements.
Despite it being an extremely long and drawn out process, the team at Nicholls & Nicholls, along with their counsel, will always act tenaciously to achieve the right outcome, no matter how long it takes.
