Applying the party-and-party standard, the court allowed the claimed hourly rate of HK$4,000 for the qualified fee earner, upheld photocopy and attendant charges under the Rules, allowed short attendances and routine correspondence, but reduced the claimed time for preparation and research from 30h50m to 10h and reduced perusal time from 5h10m to 4h as excessive; the result was an assessed costs award of HK$65,683 payable by the defendant to the plaintiff.
