    CVL v. WMLS

    [2024] HKFC 85
    Court
    Family Court
    Case number
    FCMC12540/2022

    The appeal was dismissed because the Master properly exercised discretion in ordering Form E disclosure; Practice Direction 15.11 contemplates contemporaneous filing of Form E to run ancillary relief in tandem with the main suit, mediation prospects did not justify further delay, and disclosure reduces delay and risk of asset dissipation; accordingly the same order for filing and exchange of Form E was made and the appeal had no merit.

    YKL v. YCF

    Citation
    YKL v. YCF
    Court
    Family Court
    Case number
    FCMC14949/2013

    Respondent committed contempt by deliberate non-compliance (failure to attend the First Appointment and failure to file Form E); he showed no contrition and his conduct wasted costs and obstructed court processes; given a prior six‑week committal in parallel proceedings and overall proportionality, the appropriate remedy is an order that the respondent pay the petitioner's costs of the judgment summons and committal proceedings on an indemnity basis, to be taxed if not agreed, with petitioner's own costs taxed under the Legal Aid Regulations.
