Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCMP370/2023

Because the evidence as to the defendants' available funds and disclosures was incomplete and because removing §§11 and 12 risked depriving D2 of the opportunity to defend the injunction, the court declined to vary those provisions at this stage and instead continued the injunction and imposed a strict timetable and directions to enable substantive resolution.

Reading the November 2017 transcript in full and in its context, the judge did not manifestly intend to grant the para (2) direction; the sealed order therefore contained no clerical mistake correctable under Order 20 r11; the plaintiff's summons to amend the order is dismissed and the 1st defendant is entitled to indemnity costs.

CLS v. LPKP

Citation

CLS v. LPKP
Court

Family Court
Case number

FCMC17127/2014

The court held that the identities of the recipient bank accounts fall within the scope of the wife's discovery request and that the small monetary amounts do not render the request irrelevant given the background evidence of potential dissipation; accordingly the respondent was ordered to file an affirmation within 60 days answering specified discovery items. Costs were apportioned: respondent to pay wife's costs up to the consent order and 50% thereafter from 10 December 2016, reflecting partial success and concessions by respondent.
