    Court
    Family Court
    Case number
    FCJA2423/2018

    The recusal application was summarily dismissed because it was filed after the trial and after the applicant had access to the transcript, recusal has no retrospective effect so it did not prevent delivery of judgment, the application disclosed no real prospect of success on appeal under Section 63A(2) DCO, and summary dismissal was a proper exercise of the court's case management discretion; costs awarded to the respondent.

    [2021] HKCFI 3219
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCMP934/2019

    Leave Summons dismissed because defendants failed to demonstrate reasonable prospects of success on the proposed appeals or any other interest of justice warranting intervention; the Sale Order is appealable as of right but the grounds raised are without merit; case management decisions (dismissals, refusals for transcripts and translation) were within the judge's discretion and not plainly wrong; audio recording was offered and unofficial translation provided; costs follow the event and will be assessed by gross sum assessment.

    CHUNG SIU KONG AND OTHERS v. KITTY SO & TONG SOLICITORS (a firm)

    CHUNG SIU KONG AND OTHERS v. KITTY SO & TONG SOLICITORS (a firm)
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCA496/2010

    Leave to appeal was refused because the grant of leave to appeal against costs is a discretionary function of the first instance court, it would be inappropriate to permit parties to bypass that filtering function by an on‑the‑nod consented application, and there was no demonstrated error of principle or manifested unfairness in the costs ruling warranting leave; the defendant must seek leave in the Court of Appeal.

    HCCC257/1995

    A court will not direct preparation and provision of transcripts for retrials as a routine practice; such orders are to be made only when necessary for justice or fairness, and where transcripts are already prepared the Registrar may be directed to furnish them on payment of the prescribed fee.

    THE QUEEN v. LEE WAI MING

    Citation
    THE QUEEN v. LEE WAI MING
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCMA411/1992

    A certified typewritten transcript must include all evidence relevant to issues on appeal; although the magistrate mistakenly omitted the principal offender's oral evidence from the typed transcript, that omission did not render the appellant's conviction unsafe because the magistrate did not treat the co-defendant's cautioned statement as evidence against the appellant and was entitled to reject the appellant's oral testimony; therefore the appeal is dismissed.
