    Citation
    LUEN TAT MERCHANDISE LTD v. MR. CHRISTMAS LTD
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCA121/2011

    The summonses for further and better particulars were dismissed because the content of the defendant's complaints was already adequately pleaded, the plaintiff (as manufacturer) should know or be in a position to know the relevant facts without further particulars, and the outstanding requests were unnecessary for fair disposal and would cause undue cost and delay; therefore the applications were an improper tactical expansion rather than a necessary narrowing of issues.
