    Court
    District Court
    Case number
    DCCC34/2014

    Although acquitted because the prosecution was not satisfied beyond reasonable doubt regarding lack of consent, the defendant's manner of accepting company cheques for personal benefit and the concealment in company records legitimately attracted suspicion; balancing that with the prosecution's failure to verify the defendant's early disclosure, the court exercised its discretion to award the defendant 50% of her costs.
