Taking the plaintiff's case at its highest for the interlocutory transfer application, the court found a reasonable average multiplicand over the whole period would not exceed HK$5,000 per month and, using the pleaded multiplier of 11, any award for loss of services would not exceed HK$660,000; combined with undisputed bereavement and funeral sums and estimated interest the total was within District Court jurisdiction, therefore the action was transferred to the District Court and costs of the application ordered against the plaintiff.
