    Citation
    RE KUNG YEUK MAN
    Court
    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACV62/1996

    Appeals dismissed: the court held that the phrase 'proceeding in a cause or matter' includes the intervening appeal so the plaintiffs complied with O3 r6 or, alternatively, the absence of notice caused no prejudice and relief under O2 r1 was properly granted; adverse possession could not be established by a Crown licensee and proprietary estoppel elements were not satisfied; the tenancies were agricultural not domestic so Part II protection under Cap.7 did not apply; proposed defences had no real prospect and summary disposal was appropriate.
