DECISION ON COSTS

____________________________

1.Pursuant to the direction given in paragraph 23 of my Decision dated 12 September 2018, Harbour Grand filed a Statement of Costs for Summary Assessment on 26 September 2018. However, Mrs Michaels has not filed any list of objections.

2.Harbour Grand claims a total sum of HK$821,803.  Although Mrs Michaels has not raised any objection to the Statement of Costs, it appears to me that some of the items claimed are on the high side e.g. item nos. D1 and D2.  Adopting a broad-brush approach, I order that Mrs Michaels shall pay to Harbour Grand costs summarily assessed at HK$500,000 to be paid forthwith.
