The court exercised its wide discretion to grant interim maintenance because the 1st Respondent in substance retained access to significant funds by drawing loans secured on the Taiwan property (effectively continuing the father's 'bounty' in another form), but refused to include legal fees for Hong Kong or Taiwan proceedings because the petitioner did not first show she could not obtain publicly funded legal assistance; the court also ordered costs of the MPS and costs of abandoned stay/forum summons (partly payable forthwith).
