    GOLD DRAGON LTD v. POON LAI BING
    Court
    District Court
    Case number
    DCCJ2299/2006

    The plaintiff was not estopped because consenting to an application to amend a defendant's pleading is not an election of mutually exclusive causes of action when the plaintiff was passive to the defendant's application; the impugned paragraphs (other than paragraph 15) were vague and lacked necessary particulars as to fraud, forgery and dishonesty and therefore must be struck out; costs were apportioned — plaintiff to bear costs of the first day adjournment and otherwise recover 80% of the costs of the application, with taxation and certificate for counsel as ordered.
