- Court of First Instance
- Case number
- HCA9172/2000
The court found both parties had effectively shelved their respective claims for prolonged periods (notably 2007–2012), amounting to abuse of process; because both claim and counterclaim were related and both parties contributed to the delay, the proper exercise of discretion was to strike out both the claim and the counterclaim, dismiss the action and discharge the interim injunction, with parties to bear their own costs (nisi order).
