HCA 1778/2022 [2024] HKCFI 3714 IN THE HIGH COURT OF THE HONG KONG SPECIAL ADMINISTRATIVE REGION COURT OF FIRST INSTANCE ACTION NO 1778 OF 2022 ________________________ BETWEEN
________________________
________________________ DECISION ON COSTS ________________________ 1.I refer to my Decision handed down on 12 November 2024. I refer to the costs order nisi I made at §33. The costs order nisi has since become absolute. 2.I have considered D’s Statement of Costs of 29 November 2024, P’s Statement of Objections of 13 December 2024, and D’s Reply of 20 December 2024. 3.I have considered the nature of the appeal. I am of the view that Item B1 (“Attendance on client” by 2 fee earners of 8 and 15 hours) and part of Item B3 (“Attendance on counsel” of 8 hours by NL) are excessive. For B1, I allow in total only $47,200 (half of the claimed amount). For B3, I allow half of NL’s total fees only. 4.I am of the view that Item C2 (“Perusal of Documents” by 2 fee earners of 6 and 8 hours) is excessive. I allow only half of the claimed amount. 5.The other items are in my view reasonable. 6.On a broad brush approach, I summarily assess the costs which P has to bear at $600,000.
