The court awarded mesne profits at the contractual/market rent of HKD 126,000 per month for the period 26 March 2020 to 13 May 2020 (HKD 203,225.81) because the rent reflected market value; claims for management fee, air-conditioning charges and government rates were rejected because those liabilities arose from the tenancy indemnity and the plaintiff failed to show causation linking defendant's wrongful occupation to those outgoings after lease expiry; interest and costs were awarded at specified rates and sums.
