SHAH MIHIR RAMESHCHANDRA v. WARPICON ENTERPRISES LTD

Citation

[2021] HKDC 680
Court

District Court
Case number

DCCJ2704/2018

The plans provided to the plaintiff objectively and sufficiently disclosed the pillars (including the one inside K36), and the saleable area figure in the sale materials was consistent with measurement under the HKIS Code (c.85.9 sq ft); the plaintiff failed to prove a material misrepresentation or reliance, had not pleaded agency for the estate agent, and having completed the purchase the remedies sought were unavailable; therefore the claim fails.

KO HON YUE v. LIU CHING LEUNG AND OTHERS

Citation

KO HON YUE v. LIU CHING LEUNG AND OTHERS
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACV294/2008

Leave to appeal was refused because the issues identified did not demonstrably involve points of great general or public importance suitable for the Court of Final Appeal, the disputed matters were factually and pleading-specific (including agency pleaded inadequately), other litigation would likely raise the issues better, and the plaintiff's self-representation meant he could not be expected to assist the Court of Final Appeal; accordingly leave was refused with costs.

Citation

DONALD W. SHIELDS v. MARY CHAN (otherwise known as GING TAK CHOW otherwise known as MARY CHAN PO MAN)
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACV30/1971

The Appellant's occasional use of a small room for correspondence did not change the residential character or breach the Crown Grant or lease covenants; accordingly the refusal to grant renewal and order for possession and mesne profits was set aside. On the water charge, the trial finding that a nominal charge was agreed and that a bona fide dispute excused non-payment was upheld, so the cross-appeal failed.
