Court

Lands Tribunal
Case number

LDPD2890/2010

The variation applications are refused because the respondent’s 24 June 2011 letter was unclear and ambiguous and did not constitute a sanctioned or effective settlement offer; therefore the respondent must pay the applicant’s costs to be summarily assessed; no costs order is made between respondent and third party and time for complying with the original costs order is extended by 14 days.

LEUNG LIN KO v. YEUNG CHUN HUNG t/a CHUN HUNG ENGINEERING CO AND OTHERS
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCPI567/2005

Because the defendant\'s offer was expressly inclusive of taxing fee the taxing fee must be included when assessing whether the offer was beaten; there is no established 50% taxing fee discount practice to be applied as a matter of course; and there was no evidence to justify making solicitors personally liable, the application to vary the order nisi was dismissed.
