HCA1285/2008

Defendants did not comply with the court order nor adduce evidence to justify an extension of time and their defences disclose no arguable defence to the passing-off claims; consequently the applications to deem the late defences properly served are refused and the Plaintiffs' applications for default judgment are allowed.

TEN-ICHI CO. LTD v. JANCAR LTD. AND OTHERS

Citation

TEN-ICHI CO. LTD v. JANCAR LTD. AND OTHERS
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCA2193/1989

The court found the plaintiffs had established a prima facie international goodwill manifested in Hong Kong (via tourists/residents and a genuine intention to open), the defendants deliberately appropriated the plaintiffs' name and trade indicia creating a real risk of confusion and damage, and on the American Cynamid balance of convenience the plaintiffs' case was sufficiently strong and damages were not an adequate remedy; therefore an interlocutory injunction restraining use of the name was granted subject to a fortified undertaking of HK$250,000.
