Parties

Chiu Yee Wah Katherine

Plaintiff

Yu Chi Ming

1st Defendant

Glory Plan Industrial Limited

2nd Defendant

Procedural Posture

Injunction Application and Winding Up Petition (company/matrimonial Dispute) / Hearing and Decision in Chambers, Court of First Instance

Legal Issues

  1. 1 Whether the ex parte injunction was justified and should be continued
  2. 2 Whether the ex parte order should be discharged for material non-disclosure
  3. 3 Whether fresh injunctions should be granted on an inter partes basis

Ratio Decidendi

The ex parte injunction was discharged because the ex parte application was unjustified and material correspondence was not disclosed to the deputy judge; fresh injunctions were refused because, on balance of convenience, there was no realistic prospect the company could continue trading given garnishee orders and a winding up petition and therefore injunctions were not appropriate despite a serious question to be tried.

Court Disposition

Ex parte injunction discharged; inter partes application for injunctions refused.

Orders

  • Ex parte injunction discharged.
  • Inter partes application for injunctions refused.
