It is to be hoped that owners of businesses who unwittingly employ illegal immigrants, without scrutinizing documents, but lacking her knowledge of the law in the welter of everything else which strangles their firms, are punished in the same way as Baroness Scotland.
This morning she was found guilty of a technical infringement. She knew the law, having helped it through parliament, and was fined half the maximum amount.
Businesses, especially smaller ones and younger ones, have so much red tape and regulation, that it would not be a surprise if they did not unwillingly fully comply. The hope must be that they will be treated equally leniently for a technical infringement.
