THE BANK OF EAST ASIA, LTD v. TARJOTO HERU HIDAJAT AND ANOTHER

Citation

[2025] HKCFI 1458
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCMP1190/2024

On the facts and contractual matrix the Court found no identifiable legal defence by the Defendants to the Bank's claim; communications and drafts in 2023 did not create a triable issue sufficient to resist summary disposal and the declaration signed by the Defendants supported the Bank's case, therefore summary judgment in favour of the Bank was appropriate.

DUTFIELD INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO LTD v. NINE DRAGON INVESTMENT LTD AND OTHERS

Citation

DUTFIELD INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO LTD v. NINE DRAGON INVESTMENT LTD AND OTHERS
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCCL11/2013

Unconditional leave to defend was granted because there are real triable issues that cannot be resolved on affidavit evidence alone: disputed statements of fact about whether the loan monies were advanced, whether the solicitor acted under a conflict causing undue influence, and whether earlier potentially illegal lending under the Money Lenders Ordinance taints recovery of fees and interest; these issues require trial investigation and defeat a summary judgment application.
