[2012] EWCA Crim 2697

The court reduced the amount of prosecution costs that a company chairman convicted of depositing silt in Falmouth harbour without a licence had been ordered to pay. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, the costs order was reduced from £44,159 to £25,000, but a £25,000 fine was not interfered with.
