Because the defendant failed to provide the ordered security for costs of $150,000 within the time allowed, the appeal was dismissed and the defendant is liable to pay the plaintiff's party-and-party costs of the appeal, which on summary assessment are fixed at $46,000 after excluding costs of the security application and disallowing or reducing certain claimed items.

CHAN PAI SHENG DANIEL AND OTHERS v. FULLERTON HEALTHCARE GROUP LTD AND ANOTHER

Citation

[2018] HKCFI 1499
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCMP2628/2017

The court granted the plaintiffs' application for inspection under s374 against the company because the plaintiffs, as directors, were entitled to inspect and no clear proof showed improper use; the 2nd defendant, having resigned, lacked locus to be ordered to procure compliance but was nonetheless ordered to pay the plaintiffs' costs as he ought to have conceded earlier and his opposition caused unnecessary escalation of costs; taxed party-and-party costs were fixed at HKD 280,000 payable within 14 days.
