- Court
- Court of First Instance
- Case number
- HCMP1424/2019
§1 struck out because it is plain and obvious the declaration sought lacks practical utility between Equis HK and Mr Cowan and would amount to inappropriate unsolicited factual findings that duplicate and risk inconsistent outcomes with ongoing Cayman proceedings; §2 struck out because the claim for nominal damages is a monetary claim arising from an employment contract and falls within the exclusive jurisdiction of the Labour Tribunal under the Labour Tribunal Ordinance, and thus is not actionable in the High Court.
