The application to hold the liability trial in London was refused because the estimated additional cost of a London trial (~HK$449,000) did not justify transfer and convenience did not outweigh that cost: most UK-based experts were engaged by the plaintiff and the 2nd/3rd defendants who were content for Hong Kong, only two experts belonged to the 1st defendant and no evidence showed they could not attend in Hong Kong, so overall fairness and economical disposal favored Hong Kong.
