Given the particular facts — loans were repaid, charged by a private department colleague, appellants had long public service and personal necessity, and prosecutions had a clear public‑interest purpose — the Court exercised its appellate discretion to allow the appeals to the extent that convictions should not be recorded (and in one case to set aside the fine), while acknowledging the statutory offence remains serious.
