The appeal was allowed in part because the magistrate erred in focusing solely on whether bail money was available to the appellant rather than conducting proper enquiries into the appellant's overall means; imposing 3 months' default imprisonment effectively punished the appellant for refusing to use purported bail money and was wrong in principle, so the fine of $20,000 and the 3‑month default sentence were revoked.
