Challenge to imposition of a regulatory penalty under Regulation 18 for an alleged breach of the broker due diligence obligation in Regulation 10(m): the tribunal observed that parallel charges against others were dropped and the importer obtained relief, and that the adjudicator had adopted a lenient approach in related proceedings.
