Have you never breached the rules of the air Spanner? Have a little leniency and compassion. I guarantee you that the pilot would have learned from this flight.
Yes, he or she stuffed up, but it's better than punching up into the clouds and freezing level in a probably poorly equipped C152 with barely a pitot heater. Evidently, this pilot probably didn't have the capability or knowledge to fly in IMC.
I'd be interested to hear Flying Lawyers take on this.
