A JUDGE is being asked to rule on a dispute over a cannabis factory discovered at a house in Clacton.
A court heard toay how police armed with a search warrant found the factory at a house in the town's Cotswold Road in December last year.
A total of 118 cannabis plants were found in a bedroom.
Experts estimated they would have yielded 5kg of cannabis worth £5,000.
Chelmsford Crown Court heard Raymond Smithers, 41, told police the cannabis was for his own use.
But the prosecution claimed the amount involved was too much for personal use.
A judge will now decide on the issue at a special hearing in the near future.
Smithers was granted bail until the next hearing.
