DR. LEUNG KAM CHUNG KENNETH v. MS. CHEN HIU YIN

Citation

[2026] HKCFI 459
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCAL1220/2023

The Charging Order Absolute was correctly made: the Applicant failed to discharge the burden to show cause against making the order; an affirmation by Government Counsel using standard wording that she was authorised suffices in the absence of evidence to the contrary; absence of a written letter of authorisation did not invalidate the process; appeal dismissed and charging order confirmed.

FORMER DEALING DIRECTOR OF FOREGROUND SECURITIES CO LTD AND ANOTHER v. SECURITIES AND FUTURES COMMISSION

Citation

FORMER DEALING DIRECTOR OF FOREGROUND SECURITIES CO LTD AND ANOTHER v. SECURITIES AND FUTURES COMMISSION
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACV252/2005

The application for security for costs was dismissed because, on the limited evidence, the factors relied on by the applicant (the appeal's weakness, the plaintiff's past payment record and alleged unwillingness to pay taxed costs, and the SFC's public funding) did not cumulatively constitute the special circumstances required to justify ordering security for the costs of the appeal.
