HONG KONG SPECIAL ADMINISTRATIVE REGION v. CHOW CHI WAI AND ANOTHER

Citation

HONG KONG SPECIAL ADMINISTRATIVE REGION v. CHOW CHI WAI AND ANOTHER
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCCC458/2013

The application for a certificate was refused because neither contested legal point arose in the ruling: the judge treated the overlap of evidence as a highly material factor but did not hold that such overlap precludes an award of costs, and he had considered the disparity in seriousness/number of counts but gave greater weight to the overlap; therefore no point of law of great or general importance was established.

Citation

WILLIAM TEH YEE LEE TRADINGS AS HONG KONG KOWLOON FIRST SECURITIES CO. AND OTHERS v. THE NIKKO SECURITIES CO. (ASIA) LTD. AND OTHERS
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACV5/1984

The appeal was dismissed because the Court was not satisfied Mantell, J. was wrong: the evidence in the first and third actions could not be confined so as to avoid repetition at the trial of the second action, and thus the judge properly exercised his discretion to postpone the first and third trials until completion of the second.
