DEACONS v. WISEKING MINING INVESTMENT CO LTD AND ANOTHER

Citation

DEACONS v. WISEKING MINING INVESTMENT CO LTD AND ANOTHER
Court

District Court
Case number

DCCJ3097/2010

There were no triable issues on liability because the 1st Defendant admitted instructing the plaintiff and receiving the bills; summary judgment on liability against the 1st Defendant was therefore appropriate while disputed quantum should be transferred to the High Court for taxation; an interim payment of HK$200,000 was a suitable lump‑sum to secure a substantial part of the claim on the balance of probabilities.
