YUEN OI YEE, LISA v. CHIU WING WAH, WILSON
Court

District Court
Case number

DCCJ7080/2003

The court refused the adjournment/stay and dismissed the application for leave to appeal out of time because it was unlikely that trial of HCA509/2004 would proceed or, if it did, would yield admissible evidence to assist the plaintiff; ICAC documents were subject to the same privilege/immunity as EOC documents and thus not usable; and the plaintiff demonstrated no real prospect of success such that her claims were frivolous, vexatious and an abuse of process.

YUEN OI YEE, LISA v. CHAN KAM WAH, KENT
Court

District Court
Case number

DCCJ7081/2003

The application for a stay/adjournment and for leave to appeal out of time was dismissed because the related High Court action was unlikely to proceed to a trial that would produce admissible evidence helpful to the plaintiff, the contested documents (EOC/ICAC) were subject to privilege or immunity and therefore unlikely to assist, and the plaintiff's proposed appeal had no prospect of success being frivolous, vexatious and an abuse of process; costs were awarded to the defendants with a certificate for counsel.
