Costs were to be assessed on an indemnity basis; the court applied a broad‑brush summary assessment, accepted the solicitors' hourly rate as reasonable but reduced excessive time entries (attendance on client reduced from 16 to 12 hours; document preparation reduced from 20 to 12 hours), left counsel fees intact, and rounded down the plaintiff's costs to HK$194,000 to be paid forthwith by the defendant.
