    CHWS v. LNLAI

    Citation
    CHWS v. LNLAI
    Court
    Family Court
    Case number
    FCJA3385/2013

    The court held that the 6 January 2016 dismissal did not operate as res judicata/issue estoppel because the Wife did not abandon the application; the Wife was entitled to file a fresh summons, but the Husband had already provided sufficient disclosure by way of his prior Answers, Annexure 3 balance sheets, bank and credit card statements and company confirmation; Questions 19 and 20 sought disproportionate, excessive and forensic-level elaboration and were therefore disallowed.

    Citation
    SECRETARY FOR JUSTICE v. YUEN OI YEE LISA
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCMP2390/2008

    The summons was dismissed because it was out of order, sought relief unknown to law, was irrelevant to the committal proceedings and constituted an abuse of process; costs were ordered against the respondent and to be summarily assessed; leave to appeal was refused because no arguable ground of appeal was shown.

    LEE KWOK NING, LOBO AND ANOTHER v. EMCOM INTERNATIONAL LTD AND OTHERS

    Citation
    LEE KWOK NING, LOBO AND ANOTHER v. EMCOM INTERNATIONAL LTD AND OTHERS
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCA1338/2008

    The Registrar refused the adjournment because the application was not made promptly (only seven days' notice), both parties failed to adhere to the Master’s timetable creating their own delay, the court had already accommodated the parties when fixing the hearing, consent of the parties did not override the duty to notify the court in good time, and the public interest in expeditious case management under Order 1A outweighed the claimed need for more time; accordingly the hearing was directed to proceed and no order was made as to costs of the adjournment (each party to bear its own fault).
