Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCA1208/2010

Cross-examination of the defendant's Mainland law expert was unnecessary because the contested items were legal questions of interpretation or matters for submission to the court, not factual issues requiring viva voce expert evidence; accordingly the plaintiff's application to cross-examine was dismissed.

Citation

HONG KONG WAH SANG INDUSTRIAL CO LTD AND ANOTHER v. THE HONGKONG AND SHANGHAI BANKING CORPORATION LTD AND ANOTHER
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCMP2219/2007

The case was adjourned because determination turns on foreign law (PRC and BVI) and there are unresolved conflicts between expert witnesses; the court will not resolve those conflicts on paper and requires the experts to be available for cross-examination and further time for response to BVI expert evidence, therefore the matter is not ready to proceed and must be relisted for directions.
