    Judge accepted there was a genuine change in the husband's income and that the wife was not incurring the level of expenditure previously asserted and was resident in Malaysia with lower living costs; the husband's proposed income‑contingent reinstatement mechanism was impractical given ongoing conflict, so maintenance was reduced to HK$40,000 per month with effect from 1 April 2020 and not backdated, while all other aspects of the original order remain.
