The appellate court held that the aggregate fine of $425,000 was excessive in the circumstances of a 71‑year‑old small herbalist with limited means, applied Schedule 8 as the correct guideline, weighed deterrence against ability to pay and the totality principle, and substituted reduced fines totalling $95,000 as a proportionate and adequate penalty.
