    Citation
    RE WINSTON CAMERA & RADIO CO LTD
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCCW538/1999

    The court will exercise its discretion under section 200(3) to grant retrospective authorisation of the Panel B agents' appointments and to sanction payment of their fees out of the companies' assets subject to taxation because the appointments benefited creditors and the liquidations, there is no evidence of misconduct or conflict of interest, the intended taxation process provides independent scrutiny, and a case-by-case inquiry into delegation is disproportionate given the elapsed time and limited assets.
