Citation

[2023] HKCA 1108
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACV281/2012

The March 2016 Costs Order accurately recorded the court's manifest intention regarding costs below; there was no accidental slip or omission to correct under RHC Order 20 rule 11 or the inherent jurisdiction. A substantive or contested decision cannot be corrected by the slip rule; the proper remedy was appeal. Accordingly the 2nd defendant's applications were dismissed and she was ordered to pay costs of the application.
