I think you would have to touch down at some point, for it to count as a 'landing'!
You would also have to convince the Magistrates that the low passes that you performed prior to the final approach were an essential and normal part of some kind of integrated landing process.
Having said all that, I find it difficult to believe that even the CAA would be daft/vindictive enough to prosecute anyone for flying a genuine inspection pass prior to landing.
