Key legal question
Whether L. had justified grounds to file the criminal complaint so that procedural costs could be imposed on her under § 32(3) StPO.
Extracted holding
Costs could not be imposed because the relevant question is whether L. had reasonable grounds at the time she filed the complaint; later-acquired information is irrelevant.
Extracted reasoning
At the filing date, L. had issued a written ban, observed conduct she could perceive as trespass, and was advised by the police to sign the complaint. The lower court could not rely on information obtained only later in the investigation to conclude she acted lightly or without prior careful assessment.
