OFFICIAL RECEIVER AND ANOTHER v. CHOY BING WING
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCMP1095/2007

The summons was dismissed because prior adverse rulings alone do not require recusal, there is no right for a litigant to nominate a judge, and the application for specific discovery failed for lack of specification and demonstrated relevance; accordingly no adjournment or discovery was ordered and the recusal application was refused.

NG YAT CHI AND ANOTHER v. CHINA RESOURCES (HOLDINGS) CO LTD AND OTHERS
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

RE CHUNG KAU

Citation

RE CHUNG KAU
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCB581/2003

The Trustee properly required a full and effective indemnity as mandated by authority; the Bankrupt could not provide any meaningful indemnity and therefore the Trustee's refusal to permit continuation of the appeals was reasonable and not perverse, so the section 83 application was dismissed.
