    CHAN WAI SHAN v. OCEAN PARK CORPORATION
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCPI644/2006

    The court refused the defendant's applications because the defendant failed to produce sufficient evidence (including scientific/expert evidence) to raise a prima facie case of tampering with the videotape or to justify calling Mr Shu; the alleged pauses alone do not demonstrate editing and the evidence Mr Shu would give is purely formal; the defendant's delay in raising the issue and the prejudice to the trial date weighed against the application, therefore Mr Shu and his firm may continue to act.
