    POON TING CHAU v. WONG KWOK CHI AND ANOTHER

    Citation
    POON TING CHAU v. WONG KWOK CHI AND ANOTHER
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCA2903/2004

    The ex parte Examination Orders and Substituted Service Orders were lawfully made under the Rules of the High Court; omissions relied on by the plaintiff were not material to the exercise of discretion, substituted service was justified on affidavit evidence of evasion/unavailability, the errors were clerical and amendable, failure to personally serve amended orders did not render them void, and therefore the plaintiff's applications to set aside the orders lacked merit; appeals dismissed and costs awarded.
