ESSENCE STAR LTD. v. MAI JIANBO

Citation

ESSENCE STAR LTD. v. MAI JIANBO
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCMP299/1998

The court found the 16 December 1997 requisition was vague, unsupported by admissible evidence or plans, and the alleged alteration was discoverable by inspection or the assignment plan well before completion; therefore the purchaser had effectively accepted the vendor's title and the requisition was out of time and insufficient, so the originating summons failed and judgment was entered for the vendor for the agreed sum.

OCTORICH LTD. v. LIU SIN MING and Another

Citation

OCTORICH LTD. v. LIU SIN MING and Another
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCMP977/1992

The court held that 'workshop' in the Occupation Permit described permissible use not a limit on number; the partition did not require Building Authority approval under s.41(3) and in any event did not affect title; the requisitions raised nine months after delivery were matters apparent from the title documents and thus hopelessly out of time; accordingly the defendants had shown good title and the summons was dismissed.
