    LORD ENERGY LTD. v. PAUL CHEN AND ANOTHER
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCA7124/1991

    The Master held that an inquiry ordered by the Court of Final Appeal is, in principle, equivalent to an assessment of damages; because the Plaintiff failed to prove loss, costs follow the event and the nisi costs order is made absolute, with the Plaintiff liable for costs of the application to be taxed if not agreed with a certificate for counsel.
