Court exercised its discretion under s 14(4) to award limited costs to the applicant because he was effectively successful and released, the Crown acted properly, a pro forma civil filing was required by an interim order, and the proceedings were civil in nature despite administrative handling in criminal lists; costs were therefore awarded on a limited basis reflecting category 2 civil proceedings and the actual appearances.
