The judge awarded trial costs because, on review of the evidence and trial record, the defendant's actions did not constitute positive reasons to deny costs or amount to self-created suspicion that misled the prosecution; objective materials (CCTV, phone records) undermined the complainant's evidence and the jury's inability to convict followed by the prosecution offering no evidence justified awarding costs. The application for two senior counsel certificates was refused because the case was not sufficiently complex or voluminous to require two senior counsel.
