- Case number
- HCCC24/2017
Application refused: the court found there were positive reasons to deny costs because D2's conduct and the absence of any indication of the defence (notably the identity of a third party, Ms Wong) during investigation, the voir dire and pre‑trial reviews misled the prosecution as to the nature of the defence; the voir dire costs were attributable to D2 and the court declined to award trial costs under s.5 CCCO.
