    ZHI CHARLES v. JANG SAM KI AND OTHERS
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCA1151/2014

    The amended statement of claim discloses no reasonable cause of action and is an abuse of process as against D1-7 and D13 because the plaintiff did not obtain the prerequisite leave from the Cayman Islands Grand Court and has failed to file any evidence to establish a prima facie case or essential elements of the alleged wrongs (personal benefit by wrongdoer; control to stifle the claim); accordingly the ASOC is struck out as to those defendants and the proceedings are stayed pending leave from the Cayman Islands Grand Court.
