Issuing and prosecuting proceedings in respect of estate and dependants' claims without proper authority (knowing that authority was in question) amounted to acting improperly or without reasonable cause; that conduct caused wasted costs (strike out, appeal and amendment costs) and justified ordering the solicitors Messrs Cheung, Fung & Hui to pay the defendants' costs, taxed on the common fund basis, with certificate for counsel; order nisi made in respect of specified further costs.
