    KOT WAH LUNG AND ANOTHER v. PANG KO FAI
    Court
    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACV363/1999

    The Court of Appeal allowed the appeal and varied the lower court's order because the amended statement of claim did include the claim for a declaration of lien; the judge was mistaken in thinking otherwise. The court inserted the declaration of lien, corrected the reference from 'damages' to the purchasers' 'costs and expenses' of $44,600, and ordered the vendor to pay the purchasers' costs of the appeal subject to Order 42 rule 5(6)B.
