DECISION ON COSTS (3)

_________________________________

1.  I refer for background to my Decisions handed down on 29 September 2023[1] and 11 December 2023[2].

2.  This Decision concerns D’s costs of and occasioned by the Leave Summons (see §23 of the Decision of 11 December 2023).

3.  I have considered D’s Statement of Costs.  No objection has been filed by P.

4.  In my view, items C1 and C3 are too high.  Counsel’s fee is reasonable.

5.  Adopting a broad-brush approach, I summarily assess the costs at HK$70,000.
