Hon Yuen (giving the Judgment of the Court):
1. On 16 August 2018 this court gave Judgment dismissing the Appellant’s appeal against the Judgment of DHCJ Au-Yeung (now Au-Yeung J) in HCMP2506/2009. We made an order nisi that the Appellant pay the costs of the 1st Respondent executor, which order was made absolute as no application for its variation was made within the period specified in the rules of court. We also directed that the 1st Respondent be at liberty to file with the court a summary bill of costs to which the Appellant could respond.
2. We have considered the 1st Respondent’s summary bill of costs filed on 5 September 2018 and the Appellant’s response filed on 13 September 2018. Upon a gross sum assessment, we take the view that the 1st Respondent’s claim of $15,046 is modest and reasonable, and we order the Appellant to pay that sum by way of costs.
