Citation

[2026] HKCFI 923
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCA1184/2022

Plaintiff failed to demonstrate that the court's manifest intention was to continue the ex parte injunction against the 5th Defendant 'until further order' and, in any event, the court would have declined to exercise its discretion to amend the order given the plaintiff's conduct and the practical end of the proceedings; the slip rule application is dismissed.

RE HVD

Citation

[2021] HKCFI 3213
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCMH48/2021

There was sufficient objective medical evidence raising serious doubt about HVD's mental capacity and a clear connection with Hong Kong to engage the court's protective jurisdiction; the applicants should have disclosed the statutory declaration but its nondisclosure was not material enough to discharge the injunction; balance of convenience favoured maintaining the injunction pending a proper inquiry, subject to a limited temporary stay to permit a video-link medical examination in Singapore to be conducted by the applicants' nominated psychiatrist by 5 November 2021.

GKLJ v. WE (formerly known as WFYE)

Citation

[2018] HKCA 179
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CAMP19/2018

The Court refused to advance the renewed leave application because the appeal would probably be rendered academic by the imminent substantive hearing and parties should focus on the substantive application; the leave application was adjourned sine die with liberty to restore after the substantive determination, while observations were made about the breadth of the continued injunction which may be inconsistent with access rights.

Citation

CLASSROOM INVESTMENTS INC v. HK WANSHITAIPING INVESTMENT AND MANAGEMENT LTD AND OTHERS
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCMP577/2016

Because Classroom demonstrated a serious issue to be tried and evidence that the Deposit comprises traceable proceeds of the Subscription Monies, and because HKW retains a beneficial interest/equity of redemption in the Deposit, the interlocutory injunction preserving the Deposit should be continued and defendants must make full and frank disclosure before using the Deposit or allowing the Bank to enforce against it.

WELL JOINT TRADING LTD v. CHIU CHUNG CHIU AND OTHERS

Citation

WELL JOINT TRADING LTD v. CHIU CHUNG CHIU AND OTHERS
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCA1768/2011

Leave to appeal was refused because the applicants failed to show a reasonable prospect of success: their complaints mostly rested on disputed facts or issues of weight which did not demonstrate that continuation of the injunction was wrong, and many substantive reasons for granting the injunction were not challenged in the grounds of appeal.

LEE SHING HONG LTD. v. LEON KO AND ANOTHER

Citation

LEE SHING HONG LTD. v. LEON KO AND ANOTHER
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCA1741/2002

There was a serious question to be tried on private nuisance and unlawful interference with business; on balance of convenience the court continued the ex parte injunction but limited its geographic scope to the interior and common areas of New World Tower (including lift lobbies) and excluded the pedestrian pavement/public street, and granted a new injunction against Greenpeace China in the same terms; costs follow the event (plaintiff's costs in the cause).
