Citation

[2025] HKCFI 1411
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCCW10/2025

A validation order was granted because authorising payments to subcontractors and suppliers and ordinary course JV expenses was necessary to enable continued performance of the Main Contract, which would preserve and likely generate value for the general body of creditors, avoid substantial additional liabilities and costs from premature termination, and because no interested party opposed the application and the Airport Authority supported it.

Court

Court of Final Appeal
Case number

FACV11/2020

The appellant is entitled to the costs of this Court, including costs of the leave applications, to be taxed if not agreed on the basis fit for two counsel; as to the courts below, a broad equal set-off between the parties is appropriate and therefore there should be no order as to costs in the Court of First Instance (HCCW 239/2018) and the Court of Appeal (CACV 321/2019).
