Court

District Court
Case number

DCMP1714/2020

The 1st defendant failed to discharge the burden required to set aside the summary judgment or to show a reasonable prospect of success under s63A; the unserved and late affirmations did not meet the criteria for admission as further evidence on appeal under O59 r10(2) and Ladd v Marshall; the 19 July summons did not establish any recognised legal basis to restrain possession or stay proceedings; accordingly both summonses were dismissed and costs awarded.

MAKHSSIAN TRAJAN VAHE v. MAYER BROWN JSM, MAYER BROWN INTERNATIONAL LLP alias MAYER BROWN. SOLICITOR ASSOSIATE SIMON AU MING, AVOCATE SOLICITOR, DAVID MCKELLAR

Citation

[2020] HKCFI 3168
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCA934/2020

The claim was struck out and the action dismissed because the pleaded defamatory statements were not made by the defendants and were not attributable to them, the court order wording is an act of the court covered by absolute privilege, the plaintiff's allegations of forgery and other serious misconduct were unsupported and inherently implausible, and the proceedings are frivolous, vexatious and an abuse of process (including effectively re‑litigation of matters previously disposed of).

Citation

LEONG YUET WAH AND ANOTHER v. WONG WEI LIN AND OTHERS
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACV397/2006

The petition was struck out because its central complaints were refuted by the petitioners' own affidavits, the petition was not verified and was imprecise, and petitioners cannot be permitted to substantially change their case after filing; striking out was necessary though leave was preserved to present a fresh, properly pleaded s.168A petition.
