Where lending at excessive rates was carried out by a youthful clerk who was a first offender and there was no evidence of threats, intimidation, triad involvement or a pattern of habitual overcharging, a fine would be the proper sentence rather than immediate imprisonment; however because the appellant had already served part of his sentence the court substituted a one‑month imprisonment order and allowed the appeal against sentence while dismissing the appeal against conviction.
