YEUNG YIN WA v. CHAN HO CHUEN AND ANOTHER

Citation

YEUNG YIN WA v. CHAN HO CHUEN AND ANOTHER
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACV386/2004

The Order 14A question was inapt and the issue whether delivery at 5:15 p.m. breached the agreement is fact sensitive (including the construction of the undertaking "forthwith"), so summary determination was inappropriate; both the plaintiff's summary judgment and the defendants' Order 14A application were correctly dismissed and the matter must proceed to trial.

NGAN INTERNATIONAL LTD v. LEUNG MAN KIT JOHN AND ANOTHER

Citation

NGAN INTERNATIONAL LTD v. LEUNG MAN KIT JOHN AND ANOTHER
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCA8215/1997

Clause 31 imposed only a duty to permit entry as a licensee for decoration on or before 15 July 1997 and did not require delivery of vacant possession on that date; keys were effectively delivered and any breach was minor and not repudiatory; therefore the Purchaser was not entitled to terminate and recover deposits; the Master’s summary judgment for the Defendants was correct.
