    Court
    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACC856/1979

    The court held that because Li had been dealt with leniently for cooperation, the 12-month sentences on the second, third and fourth appellants were disproportionately high compared with Li's role as prime mover and thus quashed and substituted with concurrent six-month terms plus confirmed fines; the first appellant's 15-month sentence was justified and affirmed due to his supervisory position and greater culpability.
