Key legal question
Whether procedural costs could be charged to the accused after withdrawal of the complaint.
Extracted holding
Yes. Withdrawal of a complaint is procedurally comparable to a dismissal, and costs may be imposed if the accused unlawfully and culpably caused the proceedings.
Extracted reasoning
The article's title was an unlawful and civilly blameworthy insult under personality rights law; it triggered the complaint and the journalist should have foreseen this consequence. The reasoning did not breach the presumption of innocence because it did not imply criminal guilt.
