The court exercised its discretion under Rule 11(1)(a) to admit the remittance list (Ex.A2) under s.49(1); on the oral and documentary evidence the court found partial, not total, dependency of three relatives in China; assessed that roughly two thirds of average remittances represented ‘necessaries’ (HK$1,400 pa) over a 12 year period, producing a compensation figure rounded to HK$17,000, with costs to the applicant.
