Citation

[2023] HKDC 288
Court

District Court
Case number

DCCJ3587/2021

The court refused to exercise jurisdiction under Order 20 rule 11 to amend the sealed Decision because it was not informed of the Defendant's payment before handing down the Decision, the Order did not misrepresent the court's expressed intention, and once sealed the Order could not be revisited; accordingly the court will make no order on the Defendant's letter and no order as to costs.

CREDIT AGRICOLE v. CROSSLAND INDUSTRIES CORPORATION AND ANOTHER

Citation

CREDIT AGRICOLE v. CROSSLAND INDUSTRIES CORPORATION AND ANOTHER
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCA6554/1987

Because the solicitor-and-own-client costs claim was a substantive contractual entitlement that was not pleaded in the statement of claim and was not argued at the hearing, the omission could not be corrected under Order 20 rule 11; therefore the application to amend the costs award was refused.
