However, McLeod made it clear he "intended to use cannabis" despite the deportation outcome, sharing his stance on the matter with his prison and probation officers as well as Judge Brannan.
In terms of his Cannabis use, the Judge Brannan told McLeod: “You cannot look after your children properly or do a job properly if you are stoned.
Despite McLeod spending large stints of time in prison away from his young children, aged one, four, and seven, he was told he could remain in Britain to raise them.
Judge Khan disagreed with Judge Brannan's reasoning but accepted that the children's quality of life would be improved by the ruling.
Judge David Chaim Brannan decided the deportation would be "unduly harsh" and believed "he genuinely wants to avoid reoffending so he can care for his children.".
