    Family Court
    Case number
    FCMP70/2008

    Leave to appeal was dismissed because the applicant failed to show a reasonable prospect of success or reasons in the interests of justice: the judge had properly considered evidence and child’s welfare, concluded accommodation did not require upgrading, applicant failed to discharge burden of proof for lump sum claims due to lack of documentation, mother’s allowance is included within the increased periodical payment (HK$53,000/month), and costs were warranted against the applicant.
