    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCMP496/2017

    The court refused SJ's application to be excused. Given the serious allegations of internal mismanagement, the nature of the reliefs sought (including orders effectively against SJ), the absence of a split trial, the original trial estimate based on SJ's participation, and the insufficiency of a mere watching brief to discharge SJ's protective duties, SJ must attend the full trial in its capacities for both SJ and SHA; costs of the application are reserved.

    RE LLC

    RE LLC
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCMP2656/2006

    The Secretary's participation was legitimate and not unreasonably adversarial; it was not unreasonable to proceed to the substantive hearing. The Secretary must bear the costs of his unsuccessful application to adduce a supplemental psychiatric report (to be paid to Niece #2 on a party-and-party basis) but otherwise both Niece #2's and the Secretary's costs of the proceedings are to be paid from LLC's estate on the common fund basis, save that the Secretary bears his own costs of the Application. A certificate for two counsel was granted.
