- DCCJ3937/2020
The summons for leave to appeal was dismissed because the purported fresh evidence failed the Ladd and Marshall tests (could have been obtained with reasonable diligence and would not materially affect the outcome), the grounds of appeal were not reasonably arguable or were contrary to the pleadings, disclosure requirements were not met, and there was no other reason in the interests of justice to grant leave; costs follow the event and were awarded to the plaintiff with a certificate for counsel assessed at HK$35,000.
