Court of First Instance
Case number

HCA751/2017

Expert evidence on corporate and securities advisory valuation is admitted only on a narrowly framed issue: whether a holder could reasonably have sold the shares as a single bloc on 1 March 2017 and, if not, the reasonable method and timeframe and the likely net proceeds; P's proposed valuation dates at 18 or 24 months and expert calculation of dividends were refused because those dates constitute claims for special damages not pleaded and dividends require no expert opinion.

DCCJ1440/2018

The defendant was not entitled to terminate the 2nd Agreement: the court would consider only breaches during the 2nd Agreement and refused to treat breaches of the expired 1st Agreement as grounds to terminate a different contract; the defendant failed to prove that the plaintiff committed repudiatory breaches during the 2nd Agreement; the defendant's late applications to adduce documents were dismissed for lateness and irrelevance; accordingly the plaintiff succeeded and was awarded damages of HK$135,300; the defendant's counterclaim was dismissed.
