‘Where a person had attended court and successfully resisted being made subject to a witness summons under section 2 of the Criminal Procedure (Attendance of Witnesses) Act 1965 the only basis for the Crown Court ordering costs against the solicitor of the party seeking the summons would be that for which statute provided, namely, a wasted costs order under section 19A of the Prosecution of Offences Act 1985.’
