The court found that the magistrate was entitled to infer beyond reasonable doubt that the appellant knew the offer was unlawful from the totality of the evidence — admissions in interviews, his commercial background, the notebook entry corroborating the figures, and the private nature of the approach — and therefore upheld the conviction; however, on sentencing the court reduced the custodial term to about four and a half months, ordering the appellant's immediate release taking into account time served and remission.
