The Court held the challenges based on the two statements were plainly hopeless; applying established principles that the merits of failed election challenges are highly relevant, the Court ordered that costs follow the event. Accordingly, Mr Leung is entitled to his costs in relation to the leave applications, to be paid by Mr Albert Ho and Mr Leung Kwok Hung respectively, taxed unless agreed; costs attributable to the appeal on the costs question are to be the costs of that appeal and the leave-applications' costs need not await determination of the academic questions or the appeal.
