2. In my judgment, I made an order nisi for costs of the action to the Defendant. Miss Eu, SC contends that the Plaintiff should be entitled to costs because the Plaintiff has, per judgment, succeeded in recovering $11,534,573.34. Leading counsel suggests I should follow our Court of Appeal decision in Union Base Ltd v Tsang Shek Tong [1998] 2 HKC 349 where it was held that a successful plaintiff who recovered more than nominal damages should in normal circumstances have an order for costs again
