The appellate court dismissed the appeal because the trial judge gave legitimate positive reasons for refusing costs — the appellant's post‑offence conduct (leaving the scene and not reporting or assisting investigation) and her failure to comply with disclosure directions by providing her expert report only at the last minute, which could have misled the prosecution — and the trial judge's exercise of discretion was not shown to be plainly wrong.
