R v DAVID HOWKINS (2008)

PUBLISHED December 4, 2008

[2008] EWCA Crim 2967

A judge had not erred when imposing a prosecution costs order against a defendant who had elected Crown Court trial, which significantly increased costs, before pleading guilty to counts of depositing waste without a licence. A recovery of defence costs order should also have been considered by the judge.
