    CHAN KUNG KEE v. WEN XIAOLING
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCA1635/2010

    The court found the omission to award pre-judgment interest was a slip in expressing its manifest intention, the plaintiff had claimed such interest, there was no prejudice or intervening circumstance rendering amendment inequitable, and therefore the judgment was properly amended under the slip rule to award interest from the date of writ to the date before judgment at 5% per annum and thereafter at judgment rate until payment.
