    The court exercised its discretion to order specific disclosure in part: it found respondents established a prima facie need for documents relevant to applicant's assets and expenditures given unexplained high-value transactions and issues affecting reasonable financial provision; the scope was narrowed to be proportionate (limited time periods and raised transaction threshold to HKD40,000) and targeted documents were ordered accordingly, with costs to be in the cause (provisional).

    Case number
    FCMC14649/2014

    Applying Order 24 r 7 and proportionality, the court ordered limited further disclosure where respondent had not answered (order to lodge forensic accountant report and answer specified questions) but dismissed numerous other disclosure requests as disproportionate or irrelevant to the FDR stage; respondent must answer Q24.2.1 and Q115 within 14 days and Q17.2 within 14 days of receiving the forensic report (in any event by 24 Dec 2016); costs split with respondent to pay half (certificate for senior counsel) and penal notice endorsed.
