    Court
    District Court
    Case number
    DCCJ1226/2015

    The application for leave to appeal is refused because the plaintiff's three grounds lack a reasonable prospect of success under s63A(2): the documents identified were not relied upon and were irrelevant or self‑serving; the judge permissibly considered contemporaneous communications and made credibility and probability findings entitled to deference; the Conveyance argument was unpleaded and unmeritorious; and the defendant's fallback defence that payment of HK$450,000 discharged the claim was reasonably supported by evidence such as text messages.
