The Court held that on the party-and-party basis the respondent was entitled to recover necessary and proper costs; the hourly rate of HK$5,800 for the respondent's near-20-year solicitor was appropriate, instructed counsel's fees were not excessive, specific billed items B1, C1, C3 and D2 required reduction, and the respondent's costs were assessed at HK$70,000 to be paid by the appellant.
