Speaker Notes 1.Blank Slide2.In UK, under the Misuse of Drugs Act, 1971 section 5(2), three classes of controlled drugs have been covered. Based on the class, the punishment also varies. These three classes are Class A, Class B and Class C. 3.The discussion covers three parties, i.e., Anna, Pedro and Dexter. This slide covers the acts done by the two parties, i.e., Anna and Pedro, who are husband and wife. They were the mastermind of production of Methamphetamine and involved Dexter in this plan. 4.Dexter is a friend of Pedro. In comparison to the husband and wife, the gravity of his crime is severe. This is particularly because the cleaner died as a result of his blow, whichwas so forceful, that the cleaner hit his head after he fell down. He would also be made liable as he searched on the process of making Methamphetamine and was found with thegoggles and face mask, along with the makeshift laboratory. 5.This act puts prohibitions on some of the activities which revolve around controlled drugs, and this includes its possession, production and also the production with intent of supplying, without a proper license being held. 6.Establishing that the chemicals found at the place of Anna and Pedro were indeed the ones used for making Methamphetamine, can be used as a defense strategy for the three individuals. It has to be proved that the drugs were controlled at the time the offence was committed.7.Due to the clarity on the matter that Dexter was searching for how to make Methamphetamine, along with the three chemicals being the requirement of making this
controlled substance, the prosecution would easily be able to show that Dexter was tryingto produce Methamphetamine. As the drug was being created in makeshift laboratory at the couple’s residence, even they can be made liable with ease. 8.Under the Misuse of Drugs Act, 1971, there are different categories of offences. These include possession offences, supply offences, importation offences, production offences, occupier offences, opium related offences, supply of articles offences, inchoate offences, and offences. 9.This section highlights the offences undertaken by Anna and Pedro under the Misuse of Drugs Act, 1971. 10.This section highlights the offences undertaken by Dexter under the Misuse of Drugs Act,1971. 11.This section highlights the offences undertaken by Anna under the different legislations. 12.This section highlights the offences undertaken by Pedro under the different legislations. 13.This section highlights the offences undertaken by Dexter under the different legislations.14.Till now, the relevant sections which were applicable on the three parties had been highlighted. The discussion would now shift to how and why these sections would apply in the present instance at the three parties. 15.The key here is to look into the facts of the case in a careful manner and to try to infer thedetails of it. The case study presents that Anna did some research and decided to set up a makeshift laboratory for producing Methamphetamine in her bathroom. This could mean that she searched on producing Methamphetamine or on how to set up a makeshift laboratory in her bathroom. For clarity purposes, it is assumed that she searched for both these matters.
