The sanctioned offer of 26 March 2019 complied with Order 22; the plaintiff achieved a better outcome (recovery of HK$200,000 versus offered HK$198,000), and because the plaintiff abandoned a lien claim for legitimate tactical reasons and the defendant's refusal was unreasonable given strong legal authority, the plaintiff is entitled to enhanced interest and indemnity costs; enhanced interest was fixed at 5% above judgment rate and indemnity costs from 24 April 2019 until full payment; certificate for counsel allowed.
