Costs application refused: because the defendant was convicted of the statutory lesser offence he was not acquitted of all offences after trial for the purposes of s.5 CCCO, and awarding costs for the acquitted dangerous driving charge would be unjust where the defence of both charges materially overlapped and no separate additional costs were incurred; the prior offer to plead did not entitle him to costs once he chose to defend at trial.
