1. The only dispute in this case is that of costs. Nothing that Mr Tsang has said this morning leads me to the conclusion that the general rule should not be followed, the general rule being that costs should follow the event.

HCMP001283/2001 HCMP 1283/2001 IN THE HIGH COURT OF THE HONG KONG SPECIAL ADMINISTRATIVE REGION COURT OF FIRST INSTANCE MISCELLANEOUS PROCEEDINGS NO. 1283 OF 2001 ____________
____________ Coram: Hon Yuen J in Chambers Date of Hearing: 29 March 2001 Date of Decision: 29 March 2001 _______________ D E C I S I O N _______________ 1. The only dispute in this case is that of costs. Nothing that Mr Tsang has said this morning leads me to the conclusion that the general rule should not be followed, the general rule being that costs should follow the event. 2. I take the view that the Applicant was certainly entitled to issue the Originating Summons given that he had not been provided with the statutory documents for the years 1996 through to 2000, notwithstanding the fact that he had been asking for them since September of 1999. 3. Accordingly, I would order that the Respondent do pay the costs of the application to be taxed if not agreed.
Representation: Mr Kenneth Shum, instructed by Dominic Y K Lai & Co., for the Applicant Mr Joseph Tsang, of Tsangs, for the Respondent |
