    Because the defendant did not establish any pecuniary loss, the rate was limited to HK$200 per hour under RHC O.62 r.28A(3); having regard to the defendant's status as a litigant in person and the volume of documents, the court allowed 45 hours (20 hours for submissions and 25 hours for perusal) at HK$200 per hour plus HK$110 disbursements, assessing the defendant's costs of the application at HK$9,110; costs of the assessment ordered nisi (no order).
