The Court concluded the trial judge was plainly wrong to fix maintenance at the low sums ordered because the Husband had under‑utilised earning capacity and continued substantial parental financial support; applying the doctrine of judicious encouragement and assessing the Wife's needs, the proper maintenance is HK$42,500 per month and a capital lump sum of HK$1,500,000 payable within one year, and the secured periodical payment application should not be dismissed permanently; costs awarded to the Wife on appeal.
