Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCPI739/2017

The court found the plaintiff's injuries were mild soft tissue contusions with no significant anatomic pathology, concluded medical and contemporaneous records did not support inability to resume pre-accident employment, and, applying comparative authorities (including Tong Siu Wai) and the Court of Appeal's guidance on starting points, fixed PSLA at HKD 220,000 and dismissed claims for pre-trial loss of earnings.

LEE YUEN SAM v. LEE TANG HOP WO

Citation

LEE YUEN SAM v. LEE TANG HOP WO
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCMC14/1978

On the evidence the wife's cumulative conduct—convictions for common assault, admitted locking out of husband, burning a photograph, documented nocturnal disruptive acts and psychiatric admissions—amounted to behaviour under s.11A(1)(b) such that the husband could not reasonably be expected to live with her; absence of detailed medical reports did not preclude granting a decree nisi, and no blame was attributed to the wife because the behaviour may have stemmed from mental disturbance.
