[2007] EWCA Crim 1537

A fine of £150,000 imposed on the defendant company, following its guilty pleas to breaches of health and safety law, was manifestly excessive since it had co-operated fully with the Health and Safety Executive, had entered guilty pleas at the earliest opportunity, had taken steps to improve health and safety procedures and was genuinely remorseful.
