- HCA3000/2017
The court held that the appeals were properly treated as de novo hearings and rejected the contention that they were mere regurgitations of Masters' hearings; applying a broad brush approach the court summarily assessed Total Appeal Costs at HK$700,000 (reducing professional hours and specific brief fees), ordered that the costs of the Direction Summons be in the cause, and summarily assessed the Costs Summons at HK$5,000 to be set off against sums payable to the Petitioner; apportionment among respondents was left to the parties.
