LI CHUNG HONG ERIC v. TUNG CHUN WAI AND OTHERS

Citation

[2026] HKCFI 201
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCA768/2023

Summary judgment requires defendants to adduce credible, particularised affidavit evidence showing a real and bona fide defence; documentary evidence of genuine cryptocurrency trading and contemporaneous transaction records can establish the bona fide purchaser for value without notice and change of position defences and defeat a summary judgment application, whereas bare assertions without supporting evidence do not suffice and justify summary judgment against those defendants.

Court

District Court
Case number

DCCJ2027/2020

Defendant failed to adduce affidavit evidence or particulars to raise a believable triable issue; pleaded JV Agreement and change of position were unsupported, inherently improbable and contradicted by contemporaneous facts (currency conversions and sums); intervener did not participate; therefore plaintiff established entitlement to summary judgment and restitution, with constructive trust declared over the sum, repayment, interest and costs.

BANCO DE CHILE v. BORUIDA TRADING CO., LTD AND OTHERS

Citation

[2018] HKCFI 1780
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCA1621/2018

The court found a strong prima facie case of sophisticated cyber fraud, the defendants were immediate recipients of the misappropriated funds, the documents sought were directly relevant and narrowly tailored to specified accounts and period, the banks were neutral and a protective clause prevented use of disclosed documents against the banks; balancing these factors and the risk of dissipation, the continuation of the injunction and the production order were justified and granted.
