Instrument approaches below minima

Watched a Cirrus SR22 on FR24 earlier today make an approach to Wick on a flight from Reykjavik. Latest Wick METAR (10 mins before his approach) was 2000 BR OVC001. The next one (20 mins later) was 0350 FG OVC001. Lowest OCH for any procedures to runway 31 (assuming LPV not available) is 326ft. He made the approach and landed - all the while squawking 7000!
I'd be interested to know how such an approach might be flown, in practical terms. With vis of 2000m the approach ban probably doesn't apply, but how is it possible to complete a (presumably RNP) approach from breaking out of cloud at 100ft?
