LO YUEN CHONG v. IWS ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNOLOGIES LTD (formerly known as FOOK WOO ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNOLOGIES) Defendant

Citation

[2019] HKCFI 244
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCPI1070/2014

The application was dismissed because the Master found the figure $8,780 was intentionally adopted for the assessment (not a clerical/arithmetic slip), the parties had accepted and used that figure in correspondence, and the slip rule cannot be used to reopen discretionary costs; accordingly no amendment to damages or costs was permitted under the slip rule in this case.

SU SU v. LI WING CHIU

Citation

SU SU v. LI WING CHIU
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCA2225/2013

The court concluded the reference to HK$21.08m was an accidental slip; the manifest intention was that the amount already paid into court (HK$17.68m) was to satisfy the condition for conditional leave to defend; accordingly a corrigendum was issued replacing HK$21.08m with HK$17.68m and no order was made requiring an additional payment of HK$3.4m; the plaintiff's request to vary the judgment to bar appropriation of funds was not dealt with and must be pursued by a proper summons.
