    THE QUEEN v. DEY CHI KONG
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCCC14/1996

    A judge will not direct preparation and provision of transcripts of evidence from an earlier trial for use at a retrial as a matter of course; such an order is justified only where justice and fairness require it and where alternatives are inadequate; however, where transcripts have already been prepared by court reporters, the Registrar must furnish them to the parties on payment of the fee per page as directed.

    JONPAUL ASSOCIATES LIMITED v. SOUTH CHINA TRADING CORPORATION

    Citation
    JONPAUL ASSOCIATES LIMITED v. SOUTH CHINA TRADING CORPORATION
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCA7536/1981

    The application to enlarge time was granted because the allegation that the judge may have misled counsel (potentially causing failure to call evidence) raised a sufficiently serious risk of denial of justice; the official transcript was near completion so the extension would not entail serious prejudice to the Third Party; accordingly time to appeal was enlarged to 42 days after the defendant's solicitors receive the official transcript, and the costs of the summons hearings were ordered to be the Third Party's costs in the appeal (recoverable only if she succeeds on appeal).
