- LDPD997/2017
Respondent's explanations for non-payment were unreasonable; applicant was the successful party because arrears were paid only after proceedings commenced; Tribunal's discretion to award costs was properly exercised; summary assessment reducing claim to District Court scale to HK$26,000 was appropriate; endorsement of Form CR109 after commencement did not prevent recovery and s.119R did not preclude a costs order under the Tribunal's common law jurisdiction.
