Citation

LAW KIN MAN AND OTHERS v. CHEUK WAI MAN AND OTHERS
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCMP1711/1991

The court exercised its discretion to award costs on a common-fund basis because the application raised matters that had been decided or were unnecessary and the opposing parties had been unnecessarily dragged into court; indemnity costs were refused because there was no evidence of conduct amounting to contempt or the sort of very improper conduct that would justify penalizing the applicant.
