The court found Mr Durasov's report raised matters outside Mr Klenke's expertise that were pertinent to the just resolution of the issue and that the defendants had offered to secure liability for wasted costs; the plaintiff's opposition was unreasonable on the facts and therefore the defendants were granted leave to appoint Mr Durasov conditional on payment of HK$850,000 into court as security for the plaintiff's costs, with specified costs and procedural directions accordingly.
