Under section 114(2) the court exercised its wide discretion to remit part of the statutory fees payable to the Official Receiver, having found the estate was administered summarily, the bankrupt had been making regular payments, the bankrupt had dependents and limited ongoing means, and the Official Receiver's estimated actual costs were substantially lower than the statutory fee; accordingly the court reduced the Official Receiver's entitlement from HKD290,391.86 to HKD100,000.
