Because there was no record of prior hawking offences and no evidence was produced to establish the extent or seriousness of obstruction, the £1,000 fines were excessive for first offenders; following O'Connor J and Bewley J the appropriate reduction is to $600 in the typical cases and a greater reduction to $200 is warranted in a case of minimal conduct and advanced age.
