High Court reduced total imprisonment to one day's imprisonment to run concurrently for both charges and maintained the fines because the prosecution's unexplained delay of over five years in charging the respondent, combined with the respondent's loss of employment/benefits, age, ill-health and first‑offender status, rendered the original custodial sentence unduly punitive in the circumstances.
