    FCMC8081/2014

    Court found a material change in the wife’s circumstances justifying variation but after broad‑brush assessment of needs and means allowed a modest increase: varied MPS from HK$5,000 to HK$8,000 per month effective 20 June 2017 and ordered a limited costs provision of HK$480,000 payable as HK$40,000 per month toward litigation up to the FDR, because the wife lacked means to fund representation to FDR yet the husband retained capacity to meet those obligations given available/potential resources.
