    FCMC7207/2018

    On a broad‑brush assessment the husband had sufficient means to pay interim maintenance for the child but the wife had capacity to obtain short term income for her personal needs and had substantial funds in bank accounts so maintenance for herself and legal costs provisions were not reasonable; the court fixed child interim maintenance at HK$64,000 per month from 1 September 2018, credited earlier interim payments, and dismissed wife's claims for personal maintenance and legal costs.
