6. Costs in case of frivolous private prosecution
Where a person is tried before the Supreme Court at the instance of a private prosecutor and is acquitted, the Court may, if the prosecution appears to
it to be frivolous or malicious, adjudge the prosecutor to pay the whole costs
and expenses of the person prosecuted, without prejudice to the right of the
person prosecuted to bring a civil action for damages sustained in consequence of the prosecution.
