Court

District Court
Case number

DCCJ3374/2022

The court held the proposed appeal had no reasonable prospect of success because the plaintiff failed to plead any factual basis showing she was a client of the first defendant or that the first defendant owed her any legal duty; mere sharing of an address does not establish corporate identity or liability; accordingly the application for leave to appeal was dismissed and costs were ordered against the plaintiff.

Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCA2473/2016

The summons was dismissed because the plaintiff's underlying claims had previously been struck out and his appeals dismissed, leaving no legal basis for the renewed interlocutory application; the first defendant was not required to file further defences and the purported order relied upon by the plaintiff was without legal effect; accordingly the summons was revoked and costs awarded to the first defendant (HKD 8,000).

Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCA851/2013

The plaintiff failed to prove that the writ was validly served on the listed defendants within the 12‑month validity period and the affidavit of service lacked the mandatory, reasonably based declaration required by Order 10 r1(3)(b)(i); accordingly the claims against those defendants must be struck out and cannot proceed.
