- HCMA520/2006
The court allowed the appeal and set aside the magistrate's refusal because on rehearing, including additional photographs and review of the trial conduct, the acquittal was not the result of a late meritless technical defence and the magistrate misapplied his discretion by overemphasising late disclosure and change of tactic; accordingly costs of and occasioned by the relevant summons must be awarded.
