Parties

WONG SAI LEE (黃西利)

Applicant

WONG KWOK ON EDWARD (黃國安), as manager of WONG KWOK HING TSO (黃國興祖)

Applicant

WONG KAM KI (黃錦祺)

Respondent

WONG KAM HOI (黃錦開)

Proposed Respondent

Procedural Posture

Land Recovery and Mesne Profits (lease Expiry) / Application for Leave to Appeal (appeal Permission)

  1. 1 Whether the proposed respondent should be joined as a party to the proceeding
  2. 2 Whether the managers possess or lack authority such that the applicant lacks standing to recover possession
  3. 3 Whether the proposed respondent has an arguable independent right of possession

Ratio Decidendi

The tribunal held that the proposed respondent had no realistic prospect of success on appeal and no sufficient interest in the lease dispute to warrant joinder; joinder would be impracticable given the potentially large class of Tso beneficiaries, the issues of managers' authority are distinct from the applicant's entitlement to recover possession on lease expiry, and therefore leave to appeal was refused and costs awarded against the proposed respondent.

Court Disposition

Application for leave to appeal refused.

Orders

  • Leave to appeal refused.
  • Proposed respondent (WONG KAM HOI) ordered to pay applicant's costs arising from the non‑standard review/leave application assessed summarily at HK$43,580.
