VANCOUVER (CP) - A gay bookstore has lost its bid for legal costs in the latest round of a two-decade fight involving Canada Customs' seizure of books it classified as obscene.

In a decision released Friday, Justice Allan Thackray of the B.C. Court of Appeal reversed a July 2004 ruling that would have given Little Sisters Book and Art Emporium an unspecified sum to wage its book battle against the government agency. Little Sisters argued it couldn't afford another court fight with Customs, which has seized several books at the United States border since 1985.
