You didn’t say what part of the UK you are from…
It’s essentially an honour based system so there’s no real consequences.
Although… I do wonder if there are grounds for the charge of misconduct in a public office. Johnson’s behaviour seems to meet some of the tests set by CPS but I expect it would need to be referred to them and that will never happen.
The Commons Privileges Committee is not a judicial proceeding. It operates according to the rules and conventions of the UK Parliament. It is separate from the legal process, because only parliamentarians can make decisions about issues of parliamentary privilege. (Verbatim definition from parliament.uk above) So whilst I’d love to agree with you, the law cannot be applied because it is not a “judicial proceeding” by definition.
