- High Court
Notices under s98 were validly issued and served; the Commission met its low relevance/necessity threshold; the appellant deliberately and completely failed to comply without a reasonable excuse (directors' duties do not excuse non-compliance); prosecution proved charges beyond reasonable doubt; sentencing reduction from $30,000 to $3,000 for impecuniosity was within discretion despite a minor factual error about benefit figures.
