The court refused to set aside the judgment because plaintiff was treated as having notice of the hearing, had no reasonable excuse for deliberate non-attendance, lacked a real prospect on liability or meaningful quantum, and rehearing would prejudice defendant and public interest; the court granted defendant's costs-variation application and ordered return of the HK$5,000 deposit with interest but fixed pre-judgment costs interest at 4.5% p.a. under Golden Eagle principle.
