    LEE YUM SANG v. YEUNG FOOK HONG AND ANOTHER
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCA638/2009

    The court held that the Consent Order already prohibited discharge of anything other than rain water to the rain drainage and that if the plaintiff discharged sewage the proper remedy is a contempt citation, not an injunction; the Consent Order did not expressly authorize nor expressly prohibit installation of manhole/metal plates and such works may be impliedly necessary for restoration — disputes over unauthorized works require separate proceedings; accordingly the summons seeking the directions and injunctions was dismissed.
