- HCMA189/1988
The court held that although the offences were strict liability and committed through the director, the company derived minimal benefit (10% commission) and the Marvels 40% guideline was inappropriate in this unusual factual context; accordingly the company's fines were reduced to reflect its culpability while the director's appeal was dismissed.
