Citation

WEI BINGQING v. XIE XIANGRONG
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCA2654/2003

The stay application was dismissed and the adjournment refused because the applicant failed to provide satisfactory evidence and full disclosure: the affidavits omitted the plaintiff's assets and their whereabouts, omitted the US bank account and the movement of US$2.205 million, and failed to disclose the agent's written authority; no good reason for a stay was shown.

RE CHEN RAY

Citation

RE CHEN RAY
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACV263/2004

The statutory demand complied with the Bankruptcy Rules and the debt (taxed costs under a section 17 Legal Aid Ordinance order) was properly recoverable; the appellant's credibility had been decisively discredited in prior proceedings such that his related claims were hopeless, making any amendment or adjournment futile; accordingly the bankruptcy adjudication and appointment of the Official Receiver were proper and the appeal was dismissed.

FONG KA WAI v. WONG CHUN HUNG VINCENT

Citation

FONG KA WAI v. WONG CHUN HUNG VINCENT
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCA21256/1998

The application was dismissed because no proper grounds or direct affidavit from the Defendant were produced to justify a stay or an adjournment; a solicitor's affidavit on information and belief was insufficient and the delay since instruction did not justify further time.
