After a contested substantive hearing before Master K W Wong fixed for 3 hours, the court ordered 26 (with modifications) out of the 36 outstanding requests on the grounds that they were necessary for the fair disposal of the action or to save costs. The Master also awarded 70% costs of the summons to the Plaintiff with certificate for Counsel.<br \/><br \/>Herman Ho appeared for the Plaintiff as sole advocate at the substantive hearing.<\/p>\n\t<div id=\"gap-621496142\" class=\"gap-element clearfix\" style=\"display:block; height:auto;\">\n\t\t\n<style>\n#gap-621496142 {\n  padding-top: 60px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\t<div class=\"ux-menu stack stack-col justify-start ux-menu--divider-solid\">\n\t\t\n\n\t<div class=\"ux-menu-link flex menu-item menu-button-link\">\n\t\t<a class=\"ux-menu-link__link flex\" href=\"https:\/\/simonsochambers.com\/en\/news\/\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"ux-menu-link__text\">\n\t\t\t\tBack to News\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n<style>\n#section_1675870906 {\n  padding-top: 0px;\n  padding-bottom: 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/section>\n\t\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Senior Deputy Registrar K.W.
