The Stay Summons was dismissed because the Defendant failed to show rare or compelling reasons for a stay: the Plaintiff had obtained further disclosure via a 2nd NPO and offered to provide the documents to the Defendant (with an undertaking), the Defendant had not pursued available disclosure remedies herself, and the proposed stay would unjustifiably delay the proceedings; costs were ordered against the Defendant for the period after 22 November 2024, summarily assessed at HK$38,000.
