The 1st respondent's application was dismissed because he failed to explain large unexplained cash withdrawals from his accounts and thus failed to discharge the burden of proving no other assets were available; the 2nd and 3rd respondents were allowed reasonable sums (HK$600,000 each) because their unexplained disbursements were at levels consistent with living expenses and constituted sufficient disclosure; section 5(1) Cap.455 bars releasing one defendant's funds to pay another non-spouse defendant's legal expenses.
