Given
that
the
Court
had
already
established
that
the
word
“
law
”
includes
the
case
-
law
of
a
State
,
it
is
difficult
to
accept
the
conclusion
that
there
is
no
precision
in
the
law
.
The
case
-
law
clearly
reflects
the
parameters
set
by
the
Attorney
General
–
in
particular
,
small
quantities
of
drugs
,
the
circumstances
in
which
the
drugs
were
found
,
whether
the
facts
reveal
evidence
of
the
crime
of
conspiracy
,
and
the
readiness
of
the
accused
to
file
an
early
guilty
plea
and
to
cooperate
with
the
police
and
reveal
drug
sources
.
According
to
a
raft
of
case
-
law
,
all
these
have
a
bearing
on
the
Attorney
General
’s
final
decision
.
The
case
-
law
reveals
that
only
in
some
instances
,
where
the
quantity
of
drugs
involved
was
substantial
,
the
Attorney
General
ordered
that
the
Court
of
Magistrates
should
be
the
competent
court
to
try
the
case
.
In
any
case
,
a
crime
has
to
be
very
loosely
defined
before
the
European
Court
of
Human
Rights
will
find
a
violation
of
this
provision
