SUN FOCUS INVESTMENT LTD v. TANG SHING BOR AND ANOTHER
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCA538/2007

At the joinder (first) stage the court will refuse joinder only if the application is plainly an abuse of process or manifestly and fundamentally misconceived; the defendants' application was not plainly abusive or doomed to fail and therefore NP, KC and KY were to be joined as parties for the limited purpose of addressing costs of the Appeal, with a further (second-stage) hearing to determine whether a costs order should be made against them.

Court

Court of First Instance

HCMP2626/2011

Choy, having been served with the summons and having entered the acknowledgement of service, falls within the statutory definition of 'party' under s.2 HCO; therefore the special procedure in O.62 r.6A (for non-parties not served or appearing) did not apply and it was fair to order Choy to pay the Plaintiff's costs; the costs were summarily assessed at $25,000.
