THOMAS BOVET v. SELPRO TACTICAL LTD AND ANOTHER
Court

District Court
Case number

DCCJ3477/2008

The court found the representations were made and that the plaintiff was induced, but there was insufficient evidence that the representations were untrue or that the director had assumed personal responsibility; because the communications were made in the capacity of Selpro's director/agent and no unequivocal assumption of personal liability was proved, the claim against Mr Pinto was dismissed.

SHEK WANG SANG v. LI TIN SANG

Citation

SHEK WANG SANG v. LI TIN SANG
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCA12478/1997

The Court accepted the plaintiff's evidence and concluded the signed memorandum constituted a binding unconditional loan of HK$500,000 repayable within two years; the defendant's account of a conditional compensation arrangement and oral agreement was rejected as not credible and inadequately evidenced; no condition precedent was proved, therefore the loan was due and judgment was entered for the plaintiff with interest and costs.
