    Case number
    DCCJ3996/2020

    The court refused the first defendant’s applications to file supplemental documents and to amend the defence because the proposed documents and amendment were inconsistent with the sworn defence and would cause unfair prejudice; the court accepted the plaintiff's evidence, found the first defendant breached the investment agreement and ordered payment of HKD 431,200 plus interest calculated from 3 March 2018 to judgment at HSBC prime plus 1% and post-judgment interest at the judgment rate, with costs payable by the first defendant to be assessed if not agreed.
