We think everyone would agree that if a prosecution is brought either maliciously or unreasonably the defendant should receive his costs.  On the other hand none of us consider that a defendant should expect costs merely by virtue of his acquittal; nor do
 we think this would commend itself to legal or public opinion generally.  There is a substantial class of cases where in the popular phrase the accused is \lquote lucky to get off\rquote  \endash 
 the prosecution has not quite clinched the case or the exacting standard of proof in criminal cases is not quite satisfied.  Alternatively the accused may by his misconduct or lack of candour contribute to his own misfortune \endash  he has \'93

in one way or another the defendant has shown his innocence, and of course in cases where the prosecution has for one reason or another been brought improperly or negligently.  The most difficult part of our task however has been to suggest a way in which
 this principle can be accorded legal effect without making the award of costs an almost general consequence of acquittal.  As we have said we think this would be undesirable.\'94}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \fs22\insrsid3099569\charrsid2912818

In ordinary circumstances it would not be just or unreasonable to deprive a defendant who has secured the dismissal of a criminal charge brought against him or her of an order for costs.  To burden a successful defendant with the entire payment of the cos
ts of defending the proceedings is in effect to expose the defendant to a financial burden which may be substantial, perhaps crippling, by reason of the bringing of a criminal charge which, in the event, should not have been brought.  It is inequitable th
at
 the defendant should be expected to bear the financial burden of exculpating himself or herself, though the circumstances of a particular case may be such as to make it just and reasonable to refuse an order for costs or to make a qualified order for cos
ts.  As the Report of Committee on Costs in Criminal Cases (NZ) (1966), para 30 stated:

 be seen from what I have already said that, in exercising its discretion to award or refuse costs, a court should look at the matter primarily from the perspective of the defendant.  To do so conforms to fundamental principle.  If one thing is clear in t

 (47).  Most of the arguments which seek to counter an award of costs against an informant as if it amounted to the imposition of a penalty or punishment.  But these arguments only have force if costs are awarded by reason of misconduct or default on the 
part of the prosecutor.  Once the principle is established that costs are generally awarded by way of indemnity to a successful defendant, the making of an order for costs aga
inst a prosecutor is no more a mark of disapproval of the prosecution than the dismissal of the proceedings.
\par The argument that police and other public officers charged with the enforcement of the criminal laws will be discouraged by the apprehension of adverse orders for costs from prosecuting cases which should be brought is without substance and is no longer a
ccepted by the courts.

To have a fair hearing in a defended criminal trial, particularly if it is long and complex, generally requires that a defendant be represented by an experienced criminal lawyer.  This is likely to be at considerable personal financial cost if the defend
ant is not granted legal aid.  I agree with the rationale and current reality in a democratic society, such as the Cook Islands, of the quoted views of Mason CJ and Toohey J in the }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \i\fs22\insrsid3099569\charrsid1644138

y not be substantially out-of-pocket for all the costs paid by him or her to successfully defend a criminal charge.  \'85

After the election, I was approached by several people asking if I was interested in becoming the informant in a case being prepared against the Prime Minister of the Cook Islands, Henry Puna, and the Deputy Prime Minister, Mark Brown.  I believe that Mr 
Norman George was the organizer of this group.  When I was approached, I was told that preparation for a private prosecution had already been started.}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs22 \ltrch\fcs0 \fs22\insrsid8467646

When the charges were ready to be filed, Mr Norman George asked me to accompany him to the Registry for me to sign relevant documents.  I recall that the Registrar told Mr Norman George that I was not the person to sign the documents but himself, that is 
Norman George.  Mr Norman George proceeded to sign these documents and file them with the Registrar.  These were the first lot of documents.

Mr Norman George and I went to the Registry for a second time, to file further documents.  I was asked to sign a document which was witnessed by the Registrar of the High Court.  I do not recall what was in this document.  I relied on Mr Norman George

The legal position is now clear given the interpretation earlier in this judgment and it may well be that such mistakes or m
isapprehensions do not reoccur.  But in terms of bearing on whether the prosecution has proved the questions of conspiracy, fraud and deceit in relation to the Pukapuka matter in this case, the fact is that Mr and Mrs Elikana were entitled to constituency
 travel after the Section 78 Declaration and while Mr and Mrs}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \fs22\insrsid6836803  }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \fs22\insrsid263493\charrsid2439823

All of that confirms the earlier findings that in relation to the Pukapuka informations for the reasons earlier summarised, the prosecution has not shown that there was fraud or deceit sufficient to raise a prima facie case,  still less that the arr

In those circumstances, while, as mentioned, it is not difficult to understand the suspicion those outside the email chain would muster assuming, though without evidence, that Mr John\rquote 
s ailment did not warrant a Medivac flight but was merely a convenient ruse to get Mr Tapaitau to Rarotonga at public expense, it is clear that the Penrhyn fligh

That falls precisely within the regime for the setting up Medivac flights of that type at MOH cost, defraying as much of the expense as possible to Parliamentary Services and the offering of any spare seats on the flight to other members of the wider Gov}

So the conclusion must be, in the light of all of that, that the suggestion in the informations that the Penhryn flight was a false pretence of a sick patient evacuation for Mr John with the real purpose being to bring Mr Tapaitau to Rarotonga for C
IP purposes is unsubstantiated.  The flight was irrefutably a Medivac flight with the cost to the MOH being laid off as far as possible in favour of persons who were by then entitled to free air travel pursuant to the 2009/04 Order.}{\rtlch\fcs1

Rounding all that off, and dealing first with the Pukapuka flight, the finding is that it has not been shown to the required standard that the circumstances amounted to the furtherance of a criminal conspiracy between Messrs Brown and Puna to commit
 a crime within the meaning of the authorities.  No conspiracy was alleged and no crime proved, whether under s}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \fs22\insrsid6836803  }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \fs22\insrsid263493\charrsid2439823 
280 or otherwise.  In part, their actions as proved may have been legally erroneous but no part has been shown to have been founded in deceit or in other fraudulent means or with the intention of defrauding the public, and accordingly it has not been show
n that the defendants have any case to answer in relation to the Pukapuka flight.  There being no case to answer, the consequence of that is that informations 311/20 and 315/20 must be dismissed as having no possible basis for success.  The defendants are
 therefore acquitted on those informations and verdicts of \'93Not Guilty\'94 are entered on the same.

warding costs will also endanger the future of private prosecutions in this country.  No one will do it for fear of being hit with enormous costs.  When the government is corrupt, all corruptions spread to public servants, to police, and the government se
rvices.  Organisations like CAC will only survive to fill the gap and survive if they receive protection from the courts against crippling costs.  There is also a requirement for private prosecution to act with prudence and care and maintain a high and re
