The court found the appellant's negligence in recruitment was not easily excusable given the employer's size and the apparent nationality of the employees; the fines of $60,000 on each summons were within the range of prior magistrates' sentences, deterrence was appropriate for commercial employers, the totality principle was not breached, and therefore the sentences were not manifestly excessive; appeal dismissed.
