RAYTECH INDUSTRIES CO LTD v. LEUNG WAI KIT

Citation

RAYTECH INDUSTRIES CO LTD v. LEUNG WAI KIT
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCA1360/2011

Leave to amend was properly refused because the defendant offered no adequate explanation for inexcusable delay, his litigation conduct demonstrated attempts to derail timetables and multiple CMCs, and the proposed amendment would cause substantial non‑compensable prejudice and disruption to milestone dates and CJR objectives; these factors outweighed Ketteman considerations and justified dismissal of the appeal.

AU YEUNG WING HAU AND ANOTHER v. CHEUNG PAK CHUEN

Citation

AU YEUNG WING HAU AND ANOTHER v. CHEUNG PAK CHUEN
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCAP4/2009

Because the Defendant did not advance any positive case and both parties indicated no need for a CMC, the court properly exercised its discretion to dispense with a CMC, ordered trial by affidavits with specified filing dates, refused to limit the trial to a Probate Judge, and set directions for fixing the trial within 21 days of the last affidavit filing and for procedural compliance including costs.
