    Case number
    FCMC2105/2015

    Both proposed experts were suitably qualified, but Mr Lucas Lau's fee proposal identified only his employer's client(s) rather than recognising that the single joint expert and valuation report must serve both parties and their legal representatives; for that reason the court found Mr Lau unsuitable and appointed Mr Thomas Tsang as the single joint expert, directed the report by 28 November 2018 and ordered costs to be shared equally and to be in the cause.
