Henderson abuse (standing by)

    SIN KWOK LAM v. CHAN TING LAI

    Citation
    [2025] HKCFI 1435
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCA829/2022

    The appeal is allowed because the defendant failed to show this was a plain and obvious case for striking out; issue estoppel did not apply because the plaintiff was not a party to HCA 477/2022 and privity was not established; there was no clear and obvious Henderson abuse; and significant factual and credibility disputes required trial and live evidence rather than summary determination on affidavits.
