The court applied the Currey principles and held that the Mother, as the applicant for litigation funding, failed to make adequate disclosure of her financial resources (notably the whereabouts of about HKD13.7m and supporting documentation), made an excessive budgetary claim, and therefore the exercise of discretion to refuse funding and to refuse leave to appeal was not plainly wrong; leave to appeal was denied and costs were ordered against the Mother.
