- Court of First Instance
- Case number
- HCCT42/1997
The court set aside only the default judgment relating to the claimed loans/advances of HK$9,059,883.12 because Well-Pro demonstrated a real prospect of success based on the repayment arrangement by deductions and absence of counter-signature for certain disbursements; the court refused to set aside judgments on the quantified loss claim and the unquantified maintenance claim and held the counterclaim barred by a clear deed of waiver, ordering Well-Pro to file a defence to the set-aside claim within 14 days and each party to bear its own costs of the application (order nisi).
