The court held that the plaintiff was the effective winner and the application fell within the 3rd class of cases under Re Buckton; accordingly the costs in issue must be paid by the defendant rather than out of the estate, and the disputed quantum was reduced to HK$130,000 (in addition to a previously summarily assessed HK$70,000).
