- High Court
The High Court held the sentencing Judge did not err: differences in statutory maximum fines do not require proportional starting points between corporate and individual defendants; sentencing must reflect individual culpability, harm and other s8 Sentencing Act factors; the $97,000 fine for the appellant was within range and not manifestly excessive, therefore the appeal is dismissed.
