    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCCT131/2024

    Leave to appeal refused on grounds that were essentially factual or lacked reasonable prospects of success (participation/SMS receipt; alleged failure to consider issues), but granted on the discrete legal question whether service of notice of arbitration by SMS constitutes proper notice in the context of consumer/online arbitration because it raises a novel question of general principle suitable for determination by the Court of Appeal; enforcement of the award was stayed pending the appeal.
