The judge held that Practice Direction 5.4's skeleton-argument requirement did not apply to a hearing listed for two hours; the adjournment was caused by the plaintiff's late filing of the 2nd affirmation without leave and therefore Master Levy was correct to order costs against the plaintiff; the appeal was dismissed with costs to the defendant.

Citation

CHARLES TSU YEW WONG AND ANOTHER v. BERMUDA TRUST (HONG KONG) LTD.
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCA10631/1998

Items 7–11 comprise diverse administration documents not "of the same nature"; given the nature and issues of the breach of trust action and the modern requirements of Order 24 r 5(1), the defendant must properly identify those files by enumerating and describing each document and stating whether each is an original or a copy; the court has no discretion to refuse to order compliance when the list is inadequate.
