    COMMISSIONER OF INLAND REVENUE v. HIT FINANCE LTD

    Citation
    COMMISSIONER OF INLAND REVENUE v. HIT FINANCE LTD
    Court
    Court of Final Appeal
    Case number
    FACV16/2007

    The Commissioner was the real winner because the Board of Review's increased assessments on HITL were upheld; costs therefore follow the event and, applying s.61A of the Inland Revenue Ordinance and the court's discretion, the Commissioner should be awarded the costs of and incidental to the appeals and related proceedings; though some issues run by the Commissioner failed, they did not justify depriving her of costs in the circumstances.
