Qin v He [2017] NSWSC 978

Qin v He [2017] NSWSC 978

The proceedings were summarily dismissed because the Plaintiff's Amended Statement of Claim failed to plead any cause of action, was defective for want of necessary parties, and was manifestly hopeless, disclosing no legal or equitable basis for the relief sought, with prior opportunities to remedy the defects ignored; thus, further amendment was futile.
