    HCMA56/2012

    The magistrate correctly exercised discretion in refusing costs because she reasonably accepted prosecution witnesses as credible and relied on the appellant's immediate admissions and inconsistent statements which amounted to self‑suspicion; the appellate court found no error in those credibility findings or in excluding unrelated fresh documents, and therefore dismissed the appeal.
