The appellant pleaded guilty to importing approximately 100 kilos of khat into Canada and was sentenced to a 16-month conditional sentence.
He appealed the sentence, arguing the sentencing judge erred in finding he was in a breach of trust because he did not personally switch the luggage tags.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, holding that the appellant, as an airport baggage handler with access to secure areas, was in a gross breach of trust by participating in the importation scheme.
