    DMITRY YANISHEVSKIY v. MAXIM MOSKALEV

    Citation
    [2026] HKCFI 71
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCA1840/2019

    The court ordered production of specified original earlier documents (Items 4–6 of the 8 Additional Samples) and originals of the Defendant's identity documents for inspection by the experts because originals assist expert examination and the Defendant's lack of recollection did not displace their utility; the court refused to order the 20 additional samples within a 5‑year range as disproportionate because an adequate pool of about 28 usable signatures already exists and many sought documents are insufficiently contemporaneous to the disputed signature.
