The court exercised its discretion to permit variation of the restraint order to allow reasonable living expenses and subject to appropriate conditions because the applicants had made sufficient disclosure and prior New Zealand High Court findings supported inability to meet expenses from unrestrained assets; however, historic legal costs to identified unsecured creditors (Haldanes in Hong Kong; Simpson Grierson and Paul Davison QC in New Zealand) were disallowed because unsecured creditors should not be paid absent ample assets to meet potential confiscation orders.
