The magistrate had sufficiently analysed and accepted PW1's evidence, such that the appellate court would not interfere with the credibility and factual findings; therefore the conviction was upheld. However, the magistrate's procedural handling of the nominal costs order lacked adequate opportunity for defence to be heard and, given evidence the estimated costs likely exceeded HK$30,000 and no agreement existed, the court allowed the appeal on costs and ordered taxation if not agreed.
