FULLSCALE ENTERPRISES LTD v. ASIA GOLF AND RESORT LTD

Citation

FULLSCALE ENTERPRISES LTD v. ASIA GOLF AND RESORT LTD
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCMP3252/2004

The appeal was dismissed because the defendant failed to raise credible evidence of a triable issue: its defence relied entirely on the testimony of Mak which the court found inherently unbelievable in light of documentary evidence (assignment, rescheduling, cheque payment, registration of the legal charge and Mak's prior acceptance of summary judgment), so summary judgment was properly entered.
