Appellant's provision of a non‑public employee discount to a serving police officer and the contemporaneous communications objectively brought suspicion and thus, under Hong Kong authority allowing refusal of costs where a defendant's conduct brought suspicion (or misled the prosecution), the court properly exercised its discretion to refuse the costs order despite the acquittal for lack of mens rea.
