Leave to withdraw the bankruptcy petition was granted under s.5(2) because the petitioning debt had been paid and the Official Receiver raised no objection; the court exercised its discretion under BR r.79 to order the debtor to pay the Petitioner's costs, but refused to award indemnity costs because the debtor's conduct did not exhibit the special or unusual features required to justify indemnity and the costs claimed were excessive; the court fixed the Petitioner's costs at HK$70,000 plus HK$5,300 Official Receiver costs, total HK$75,300.
