Greenyer v R

The appellant, Greenyer, appealed against his sentence for ongoing supply of a prohibited drug and supply of a prohibited drug. The appeal was heard in the High Court of Australia. The primary issue before the court was whether the appellant's sentence was manifestly excessive, given an error in the calculation of the commencement date of the supply. The court was also required to determine whether the error warranted a reduction in sentence or if the appeal should be dismissed.

The court found that the error in calculating the commencement date of the supply did not materially affect the sentence. The court held that the sentence was not manifestly excessive and that the appeal should be dismissed. The court acknowledged that the error in calculating the commencement date was significant, but found that it did not warrant a reduction in sentence. The court held that the sentence was proportionate to the gravity of the offending and that the appellant had not demonstrated that the error materially affected the sentence.

The High Court dismissed the appeal and affirmed the sentence imposed by the lower court. The court held that the sentence was proportionate to the offending and that the error in calculating the commencement date did not materially affect the sentence. The court also held that the appellant had not demonstrated that the sentence was manifestly excessive.

No further orders were made by the court.
