    Citation
    WKD v. YL
    Court
    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACV58/2003

    The trial judge did not err in principle in assessing the wife’s needs and the husband’s resources or in concluding the wife was capable of earning; however the judge overlooked additional living costs the wife would incur during visits to Hong Kong, and the Court therefore varied the order to award an interim allowance of HK$10,000 per month pro rata for up to three months during visits; the appeal against the nominal maintenance award was otherwise dismissed.
