1. The question on costs is whether the costs of this action payable to the plaintiff today should be borne by Kwong Ian. I have no doubt that I have jurisdiction both under section 168BI(1) of the Companies Ordinance, Cap. 32 as well as under section 52A(2) of the High Court Ordinance, Cap. 4, and I cannot see how I should refrain from exercising my discretion in favour of the plaintiff against the party which has brought about this contest and which it has lost.
