    Case number
    HCMA1541/1988

    Because there was no evidence on the seriousness or extent of obstruction and there was authority treating first offenders leniently in identical circumstances, the fines of $1,000 were excessive and should be reduced to $600 for the majority; a minor elderly hawker with two cartons of pears had her fine reduced to $200.
