Nova Scotia, Canada
The following excerpt is from R. v. Bambury, 2001 NSSC 73 (CanLII):
That gambling addiction will impact upon sentencing considerations can be seen from various cases in this province. I quote The Queen v. Rizzetto (1983), 59 N.S.R. (2d) 132 as well as The Queen v. Landry, [1997] N.S.J. No. 508 and The Queen v. Wilson (1999), N.S.J. 476.
