The Crown failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the defendant was connected with the operation of an ongoing money‑lending business: the evidence showed a one‑off loan, unreliable witness testimony on collection activity, and insufficient proof of continuity or that the defendant was more than an assistant in a single transaction; accordingly acquit on s29(1)(a), while guilty plea to the usury charge (s24(1)) stands.
