    Paternity was declared; after evidential assessment the court found many of the mother's day‑to‑day child expenses reasonable, the father had an earning capacity of at least HK$100,000 per month and sufficient resources (including borrowing ability) to meet obligations; accordingly ordered periodical payments to reflect the children's reasonable needs and awarded a lump sum to reimburse set-up and accrued child expenses after crediting interim payments.
