Procedural Posture

Summary Judgment Appeal / Appeal From Deputy High Court Judge Decision on Summary Judgment

Legal Issues

  1. 1 Whether a contemporaneous oral 'Payment Agreement' existed and was sufficiently proved
  2. 2 Whether the HK$60,000,000 loan was actually advanced/released to the defendants or used to discharge Rensino's obligation
  3. 3 Whether the 2021 Deed is enforceable notwithstanding alleged want of consideration

Ratio Decidendi

The appeal is dismissed. The judge was entitled to conclude there was no triable issue: the defendants executed the 2021 Deed acknowledging the loan and outstanding sums; contemporaneous correspondence and partial payments corroborated the asserted Payment Agreement and indebtedness; a deed operates without consideration and the 2021 Deed is enforceable; accordingly summary judgment was properly granted and the defendants are liable for the sums claimed.
