The Board's cancellation was overturned because it failed to give adequate consideration to the appellant's comparatively low culpability and personal character and neglected relevant prior Board decisions, resulting in a disproportionate penalty; substitution of an 18 month suspension was appropriate under s99 given the appellant's negligent but non‑dishonest role.
