The judge's factual findings that the appellant did not take all reasonably practicable steps to verify the worker's right to be employed were open on the evidence (ID not properly examined, photo mismatch, limited inquiry into background and residence), therefore the statutory defence failed; the appellant's conduct was reckless and the 3‑month immediate custodial sentence was appropriate and must be upheld.
