The judge found particular time and fee items excessive on their face and applied broad-brush reductions to communications and professional work entries, disallowed an unreasonable counsel engagement fee for a 3-minute hearing, accepted certain fee earner involvement as reasonable, and summarily assessed the hearing costs at HK$110,000 and the appeal costs at HK$151,000, with Plaintiff to pay the assessed sums and certificate for counsel.
