Applying O 62 r 32A and the court's discretion, the taxed reductions (profit costs and disbursements reduced to c.38% of claims), the unreasonable inflation of items, the Applicant's delay and unrealistic offers, and the de minimis excess (HK$9,490.27) over the Calderbank offer justified ordering that the Respondent pay the Applicant's taxation costs only up to 18 April 2022 and the Applicant pay the Respondent's costs thereafter; Applicant also ordered to pay Respondent's costs of the application (summarily assessed).
