CAPITAL DRAGON CREDIT FINANCE LIMITED (滙龍按揭信貸有限公司)

Plaintiff

FUNG TIM WAH (馮添華)

Defendant

Procedural Posture

Civil (debt Recovery; Post Judgment Application) / Application for Extension of Time to Appeal / Permission to Appeal (post Judgment)

  1. 1 Whether to grant extension of time to appeal against 17/9/25 judgment
  2. 2 Whether the defendant's new evidence meets the Ladd v Marshall criteria for admission on appeal
  3. 3 Whether loans were secured or unsecured

Ratio Decidendi

Extension of time was refused because the defendant's alleged new evidence would not meet the Ladd v Marshall requirement that it would have an important influence on the outcome (the stock charges produced related to different loans and the antiques/paintings allegation was a bare assertion without documentary support), and the defendant failed to demonstrate reasonable inability to present the evidence earlier; consequently there was no real prospect of success on appeal and the application was dismissed with an interim costs order against the defendant.

Court Disposition

Application for extension of time to appeal dismissed; interim costs order made in favour of plaintiff.

Orders

  • Application dismissed.
  • Defendant must pay the plaintiff's costs of this application (interim costs order).
