Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCCL15/2016

The application to include the disputed documents was refused because the plaintiff failed to provide any affidavit explaining the long delay in disclosure and provenance despite discovering one document in September 2018, the delay caused clear prejudice requiring further discovery and witness statements, and the marginal relevance and disproportionate burden of admitting the documents defeated CJR objectives.

QANTEX CAPITAL MARKETS LTD v. GUEGAN VIANNEY ERIC

Citation

[2019] HKCFI 880
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCA753/2018

The court dismissed the plaintiff's summary judgment/determination application due to clear triable factual issues and ruled that because the plaintiff continued the application after being aware of those issues, the plaintiff must pay the defendants' costs of the Summons incurred after 30 July 2018 on an indemnity basis; the court refused a certificate for two counsel, granted one counsel only, and ordered the defendants' costs to be summarily assessed on paper with procedural directions for filing statements of costs.
