As is well-known, the existence of a cone-field with constant orbit core dimension is, roughly speaking, equivalent to hyperbolicity, and consequently guarantees expansivity and shadowing. In this paper we study the case when the given cone-field does not have the constant orbit core dimension. It occurs that we still obtain expansivity even in general metric spaces. Main Result. Let $X$ be a metric space and let $f:X \rightharpoonup X$ be a given partial map. If there exists a uniform cone-field on $X$ such that $f$ is cone-hyperbolic, then $f$ is uniformly expansive, i.e. there exists $N \in \mathbb{N}$, $\lambda \in [0,1)$ and $\epsilon > 0$ such that for all orbits $\mathrm{x},\mathrm{v}:{-N,\ldots,N} \to X$ \[ d_{\sup}(\mathrm{x},\mathrm{v}) \leq \epsilon \Longrightarrow d(\mathrm{x}_0,\mathrm{v}_0) \leq \lambda d_{\sup}(\mathrm{x},\mathrm{v}). \] } We also show a simple example of a cone hyperbolic orbit in $\mathbb{R}^3$ which does not have the shadowing property.
