Costs follow the event; the Attorney did not act in the appeal in her capacity as trustee or personal representative but was resisting on her own personal interest, so trustee/fund basis was inapplicable; the appropriate basis is party‑and‑party; therefore the Plaintiff must pay the Defendant party‑and‑party costs fixed at HK$350,000 (inclusive of a 50% reduction of the Attorney's claimed costs for submissions on costs).
