The court held it would not impose an automatic rule that an interim lump sum for litigation funding must be deducted as of right from any final ancillary relief award; fairness requires case-specific treatment, and given the wife satisfied the Currey test and the husband was not required to account for his own legal costs, the court invited the husband to pay HK$3,000,000 without prejudice to positions at trial and, failing that, ordered HK$800,000 per month for four months to meet litigation funding needs up to the Financial Dispute Resolution hearing.
