The court exercised its discretion under Cap 492 s8 and concluded that although the appeal succeeded on a statutory point regarding the required mode of service (personal service or registered post) and thus the appellant is entitled to costs of the appeal, the appellant's conduct concerning its registered address and interactions leading to mailbox delivery amounted to improper conduct related to the offence and constituted positive reasons to deny recovery of the trial (original) costs; accordingly only appellate costs were awarded.
