The trial judge erred by failing to give sufficient weight to the manifest breach of trust, deception of the principal and sustained commercial corruption; the appropriate starting point was four years' imprisonment on each charge reduced to three years having regard to mitigation, and the concurrent sentences were varied accordingly while the mandatory s.12 payment order remained in force.
