    FAN SUI WONG v. ZHOU JUN YING

    Citation
    [2026] HKCFI 2828
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCMP333/2026

    The court vacated the registered Amended Writ because (1) its registration had in any event ceased to have effect under LRO s.17, (2) the 2019 Action had not been prosecuted bona fide since June 2019 such that bad faith could be inferred under LRO s.19 and authority, and (3) the Amended Writ did not plead any proprietary interest in the Properties and therefore was not registrable as a lis pendens; consequentially an undertaking not to re-register was accepted and indemnity costs were awarded to the applicant.
