The appeal was allowed and the 12 month immediate custodial sentence was substituted with a fine because the appellant's close family relationship to one immigrant, humanitarian motive, clear antecedents and strong mitigating report placed the case within the rare exception to the established rule that aiding and abetting illegal immigrants normally attracts immediate imprisonment; a substantial fine was deemed an adequate and effective penalty and deterrent in these circumstances.
