    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCA336/2008

    Leave to appeal and any stay were refused because the defendants had no reasonable prospect of success: the PSP was executed after registration of the lis pendens and consent order and Wong had no authority to sell without Cheung's approval; the court ordered the sale to proceed under adjusted timetable with proceeds paid into court; plaintiff authorised to nominate surveyor and estate agents; substituted service on Wong via his solicitors was permitted; Best Century's intervention was dismissed but its entitlement to claim against proceeds is preserved.

    KWAN CHI ON v. HONG KONG BAPTIST UNIVERSITY and Another

    Citation
    KWAN CHI ON v. HONG KONG BAPTIST UNIVERSITY and Another
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCA12277/1996

    Leave to intervene was refused because the intervenor lacked a sufficient legitimate interest in the narrow claim for delivery up of documents to justify joinder: copies were already in the public domain via the Court of Appeal, the proper dispute as to entitlement is between Plaintiff and University (and can be addressed at the retrial or by subpoena), and intervention would unnecessarily complicate and multiply proceedings contrary to Order 15 r.6.
