The court approved the HK$50,000 settlement because the supporting evidence demonstrated the compromise was fair and beneficial to the person under disability; the defendants' agreement to pay costs on a common fund basis and the solicitors' waiver of additional costs justified approval while the court reaffirmed that costs must be reasonable and proportionate and that summary/gross assessment of costs is often appropriate in simple Order 80 originating summons matters.
