    SKY KING MACHINERY ENGINEERING LTD v. CHUN WO CONSTRUCTION & ENGINEERING CO LTD AND ANOTHER
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCA1918/2013

    The application for summary judgment was dismissed because, although the court accepted the Plans were original and that the Plaintiff had rebutted the copyright notice presumption of Gammon's ownership, there remained triable issues as to whether the Defendants had authorized the copying; the evidence (general contract specifications, subcontracting and approval rights) was insufficient at summary stage to conclude authorization as a matter of law.

    POON YUET CHUN v. TSE SO KWAN

    Citation
    POON YUET CHUN v. TSE SO KWAN
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCA8006/1993

    The application to vary the order nisi as to costs was refused because there was no evidence the Defendant had authorised her husband's vandalism, the Plaintiff had not sued the husband, and the time spent on the conversion issue was minimal compared with the rest of the case; therefore there was no reason to alter the existing costs order.
