The court exercised its case-management discretion to permit the plaintiff to file supplemental witness statements and documents despite lateness, ordered the trial adjourned and retried de novo to ensure fair disposal, granted the defendant leave to file responsive supplemental statements, dispensed with English translation of new Chinese documents, and ordered the plaintiff to pay the defendant costs of the summons (party and party with counsel certificate) and to pay the defendants costs thrown away by the adjournment on an indemnity basis, summarily assessed at HK$240,000.00.
