CACV 475/2021 [2022] HKCA 1178 香港特別行政區 高等法院上訴法庭 民事上訴案件2021年第475號 (原高等法院民事訴訟案件2015年第947號及2013年1824號) ____________ 第一原告人 Chan Wan (陳雲) 第二原告人 Chan Wan (陳雲), The Personal RePRESENTATIVE of The Estate of Chan Kai Wing (陳啟榮) 與 第一被告人 Chun Wai Metal Limited (振威金屬有限公司) 第二被告人 Ho Kwok Wai (何國威), 第三被告人 Ho Kwok Wai (何國威), The Personal RePRESENTATIVE of The Estate of Tang Pui Choi (鄧佩彩) ____________ 主審法官 : 高等法院上訴法庭法官林雲浩 高等法院上訴法庭法官周家明 書面陳詞日期 : 2022年6月27日、7月5日、7月13日 判決書日期 : 2022年 8 月16日 判決書 上訴法庭法官林雲浩頒發上訴法庭判決書: 本庭於本年5月20日頒布判決書([2022] HKCA 684),駁回第一原告人有關暫緩執行原審判決的申請。第一原告人於6月10日於本庭存檔提出動議通知書,申請許可,就本庭上述判決向終審法院提出上訴。 根據《香港終審法院條例》第22(1)(b)條: 「 如該上訴是就上訴法庭就任何民事訟案或事項所作的判決而提出的,不論是最終判決或非正審判決,而上訴法庭或終審法院(視屬何情況而定)認為上訴所涉及的問題具有重大廣泛的或關乎公眾的重要性,或因其他理由,以致應交由終審法院裁決,則上訴法庭或終審法院須酌情決定終審法院是否受理該上訴。」 此外,本庭的判決是一項非正審的、有關等候上訴期間暫緩執行原審判決的決定。第一原告人在本庭的上訴仍有待審理。根據已確立的法律原則,法庭只有在罕有和例外的情況下,才會給予許可,讓與訟人對這類非正審的判決向終審法院提出上訴:見 CSAV Group (Hong Kong) Ltd v Jamshed Safdar (2007) 10 HKCFAR 629。 第一原告人以誓章附件的形式提交了一份申請上訴許可的理由。可是,第一原告人並沒有在他的提出動議通知書、申請上訴許可的理由、或兩份書面陳詞中,指出他擬提出的上訴涉及什麼具有重大廣泛的或關乎公眾的重要性的問題。他提出的申請上訴許可的理由,只是重提他在本案曾經提出的論點,本庭看不到有任何有重要性的問題,需提交終審法院裁決。 第一原告人也未能提出任何例外的理由,使本庭應給予許可,讓他就一項非正審、有關暫緩執行的判決,向終審法院提出上訴。 因此,本庭駁回第一原告人的申請。第一原告人須向第二及第三被告人支付有關本申請的訟費,數額如無協議,可由被告人提交由本庭以書面方式及簡易程序評定。 (林雲浩) 高等法院上訴法庭法官 (周家明) 高等法院上訴法庭法官 第一及第二原告人:無律師代表, 呈交書面陳詞 第一被告人:無律師代表 第二及第三被告人:由鄭焯謙律師行轉聘楊元晶大律師代表,呈交書面陳詞
