    史超 v. 均富有限公司 AND ANOTHER

    Citation
    [2023] HKDC 1472
    Court
    District Court
    Case number
    DCCJ5015/2017

    Application dismissed because the medical evidence failed to answer critical requisitions about the plaintiff's ability to give and complete evidence (including endurance of stress, suitability for cross‑examination and ability to attend proposed hours), the plaintiff's willingness to attempt travel undermined the asserted inability to travel, and the application was late and prejudicial to the 2nd defendant; therefore no valid reason justified departing from in‑person testimony and the balance of interests required refusal.
