On rehearing the High Court found the magistrate misapplied the costs discretion by over-emphasising that the prosecution's evidence was 'strong' and the appellant's admissions; the evidence supported careless (not dangerous) driving and did not justify refusing the appellant's costs; therefore the magistrate's refusal of costs was set aside and the appellant was entitled to trial costs and half of the appeal costs with entitlement to one senior counsel and one solicitor.
