DECISION ON COSTS
____________________________
1. Pursuant to the direction given in paragraph 39 of my Decision dated 12 September 2018, Centaline filed its Statement of Costs for Summary Assessment on 26 September 2018, whereas Mr Chiu and Ms Pow filed their respective Statements of Costs for Summary Assessment on 20 September 2018. However, Mrs Michaels has not filed any list of objections at all.
2. Centaline claims a total sum of HK$198,850. Mr Chiu and Ms Pow claim HK$10,198 for each of them. The amounts claimed appear to be reasonable. Adopting a broad-brush approach, I order that Mrs Michaels shall pay:
(a) HK$170,000 to Centaline;
(b) HK$10,000 to Mr Chiu; and
(c) HK$10,000 to Ms Pow
as costs summarily assessed to be paid forthwith.
