Citation

[2020] HKCA 833
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CAMP295/2019

The court held that the 1st defendant's claimed costs should be assessed by reference to the statement of costs filed and, applying a broad‑brush approach, summarily assessed and allowed the 1st defendant's costs at HKD 5,000 in CAMP 295/2019 and HKD 2,100 in CAMP 296/2019; the court refused to consider unsolicited written representations filed without leave and confirmed it will not draft a statement of costs for the receiving party.
