- High Court
It was an error in principle for the District Court to reduce the company's culpability by apportioning blame to an authorised employee whose acts formed the basis of the company's offence without a disputed fact hearing or a finding the employee acted without authority; appeal allowed on that ground but sentence left unchanged by the High Court.
