The appellant, as the direct employer, was liable under the strict liability offence in s17I(1); the s17I(4) certificates were admissible and established that the four named individuals were not lawfully employable on the date in question; the appellant failed to discharge the evidential burden under s17I(1A) because its recruitment procedures and record-keeping were inadequate (missing ID records, no demonstrable checking process), therefore the convictions and fines were properly sustained.
