Court

District Court
Case number

DCCJ2772/2022

Adjournment was refused because the plaintiff's proposed letter did not satisfy the requirement that the court itself require information under Order 25 r9; there was insufficient evidence that the defendant had abandoned his defence; striking out is a draconian remedy inappropriate so close to a ready and short trial; therefore the PTR should not be adjourned and the trial should proceed as scheduled.

HANGZHOU LIANLUO LIAISON INTERACTIVE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY CO LTD v. CHINA DIGITAL CULTURE (GROUP) LTD

Citation

Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCA536/2020

The 'Unless Order' application was misconceived and properly dismissed on its present terms because it was brought under the wrong rule (Order 25 r 6) and was procedurally defective: late issued, excessive evidence served at short notice, and fixed for an unrealistically short hearing in breach of Practice Direction 5.4 such that it amounted to an abuse of process; the substantive question is to be determined by the trial judge and the application for substantive relief is adjourned for full hearing before the trial judge.
