Citation

HARVEST TREASURE LTD AND OTHERS v. CHEUNG FAT ENTERPRISES LTD AND OTHERS
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACV67/2016

An expert in civil litigation has no general duty to voluntarily disclose pending disciplinary proceedings; the duty to disclose disciplinary matters arises when a disciplinary tribunal has made a finding and imposed a sanction that curtails the expert's right to practise, and failure to disclose pending proceedings affects the weight of the expert's evidence rather than its admissibility; the Lands Tribunal did not err in law in its approach and the appeal is dismissed.

SMART WEALTH ASIA PACIFIC LTD v. THE INCORPORATED OWNERS OF KELLY COURT
Court

Lands Tribunal
Case number

LDBM251/2013

All offices of the management committee were vacant and no owners were willing to serve, rendering the committee defunct; therefore the tribunal properly exercised its power under s31 to dissolve the committee and appoint an administrator (City Professional) to perform statutory and DMC duties pending resolution of the compulsory sale application; the proposed remuneration was reasonable and its payment as management expenses and the applicant's legal costs were properly ordered to be met from the incorporated owners' funds.
