The appeal is dismissed because the Magistrate lawfully exercised sentencing discretion: he identified the aggravating factor of monetary gain and deception, applied mitigation for guilty plea, delay and personal circumstances, gave a substantial discount from a stated 9–12 month starting point, and the resulting concurrent 3‑month sentences were not excessive or wrong in principle.
