Remigijus Tuma won an appeal against cannabis convictions at the Court of Appeal, with judgment delivered on 27 March 2015.

The court found that the jury had received contradictory and confusing directions about the burden and standard of proof for his statutory defence.

It allowed the appeal and directed a retrial on all three counts, while the judgment records a previous seven-year sentence for one offence.
