The court held that a party may apply for a further interim order under section 7 Cap 481 notwithstanding an earlier consent order providing interim litigation funding; section 7 is wide enough to permit an interim lump sum; the applicant's immediate need and merits threshold were not shown to have diminished since the earlier interim order; accordingly a further interim lump sum for litigation funding was granted in part (HKD 3,350,000) with ancillary costs directions, and the court confirmed it had no power to vary or dismiss the Consent Order under Cap 481 s8.
