Because liability had been finally determined and the defendant failed to comply with orders and file evidence, the court accepted the plaintiff's evidence and the uncontested expert report. The court awarded repair costs at the pleaded amount HK$72,174.22, relocation/accommodation costs pro rata for 14 days totalling HK$13,346.67 (calculated from plaintiff's chosen hotel rate), treated the surveyor's fee as recoverable as part of costs not damages, and awarded general damages for inconvenience and distress of HK$90,000; interest and costs were ordered as per the judgment.
