    Citation
    MOK HING CHUNG v. WONG KWONG YIU
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCAP8/2010

    Given overlapping proceedings, differing success on discrete issues (WKY succeeded on the Adoption Issue; MHC succeeded on the Resulting Trust and Will Validity Issues), the court exercised discretion to vary the nisi orders to achieve overall justice: HCAP 8/2010 costs to follow the event (paid by WKY) and HCAP 10/2012 costs largely to follow the event subject to apportionment so that 75% of WKY's costs in HCAP 10/2012 are payable by MHC, with taxation if not agreed and MHC's costs assessed under legal aid regulations.
