1. This is an appeal against the order of Au J dated 30 April 2015 refusing the applicant’s application for a protective costs order (“PCO”). It raises important questions concerning the court’s jurisprudence and practice regarding PCO applications in the Hong Kong context. Since such questions are raised before this Court for the first time, we will take the opportunity to lay down general guidance, insofar as it is desirable, for future PCO applications.
