The court exercised its wide discretion under section 114 to order a partial remission of the Official Receiver's scale fees because the work done was minimal, producing a substantial disparity between scale fees (circa HK$2.1m) and actual work, and because partial remission balanced the Official Receiver's prima facie entitlement with the real hardship that full scale fees would cause; remission of HK$1.5m was ordered.
