CACV 151/2017 香港特別行政區 高等法院上訴法庭 民事司法管轄權 民事上訴 民事上訴案件2017年第151號 (原高院民事訴訟案件2016年第2519號) __________________ 原告人 施華芬 (SEE WAH FAN) 及 被告人 鄺偉全經營鄺偉全律師行 (KWONG WAI CHUEN, PAUL trading as PAUL KWONG & COMPANY) __________________ 主審法官： 高等法院上訴法庭法官朱芬齡 高等法院上訴法庭法官潘兆初 書面陳詞存檔日期：2017年8月9日及8月11日 判案書日期：2017年9月11日 判 案 書 上訴法庭法官潘兆初頒發上訴法庭判案書： 2017年6月2日，原訟法庭法官陸啟康命令撤銷原告人於2017年4月26日存檔的上訴通知書。原告人不服，在2017年7月7日存檔上訴通知書，針對陸法官的命令提出上訴。 2017年3月7日，原訟法庭法官周家明頒下命令： “ 1. No legal proceedings shall without the leave of the Court of First Instance be instituted by the Defendant [施華芬]; 2. Any legal proceedings instituted by the Defendant [施華芬] in any court or tribunal before the date of this Order shall not be continued by the Defendant [施華芬] without the leave of the Court of First Instance; 3. The above restrictions shall cease to have effect at the end of 10 years from the date of this Order and shall be confined to legal proceedings by the Defendant [施華芬] against the following parties only, namely : (1) Tam Kam Yuk (譚金玉); (2) Yuen Wai Noong (袁偉農); (3) Lin Kwok Pun (練國彬); (4) Leung Shi Wing (梁仕榮); (5) Watt Koon Ying (屈冠英); (6) Paul Kwong & Co. (鄺偉全律師行); and (7) Lee Po Wing (李寶榮).” 原告人在提出本上訴前，並未取得高等法院原訟法庭法官的許可。 因為原告人未獲原訟法庭法官許可，她不能提出本上訴。因此，本庭撤銷原告人的上訴，並命令她支付被告人的訟費，訟費數額以簡易程序評定為HK$5,000.00。 (朱芬齡) (潘兆初) 高等法院上訴法庭法官 高等法院上訴法庭法官 原告人 ：無律師代表，親自行事。 被告人 ：由鄺偉全律師行代表。
