The court concluded the Liquidators' decision to settle the Petitioner's costs for HK$1,483,156.80 was manifestly unreasonable because the claimed time and fees were disproportionate and unsupported by the work required; accordingly the court intervened, referred the assessment of the Petitioner's costs to taxation, directed disclosure and limited recovery of certain liquidators' affidavit costs to 15%.
