The magistrate's awards of costs were upheld: where the prosecution failed to present summaries of facts or authorities the magistrate did not err in awarding costs; where the prosecution complied with procedural requirements the magistrate should apply Lam Chiu Fong, but on the merits the respondents had not shown conduct that 'brought suspicion on themselves' and there was no positive reason to deny costs; appeals dismissed and costs of the appeals ordered to the respondents.
