Applying the Court of Appeal two-stage and broad-brush approach, the court found portions of the defendant's claimed costs disproportionate or unnecessary on a party-and-party basis (duplication of professional attendance, excess printing, inappropriate hourly assessment for routine attendances) and summarily reduced the claim to a total of HKD 58,000, while dismissing the Notice of Appeal and making the costs order absolute.
