Citation

[2020] HKCFI 599
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCA2048/2014

Applications for summary judgment were refused because the defendant raised credible bona fide defences that are inseparable from the defence to the whole claim — in particular disputes over contractual construction of clauses governing payment, the legal effect and nature of the RMB340,138,000 remittances, and PRC foreign exchange/regulatory issues supported by expert evidence — such that the matters ought to be tried.

JERRY CHEN v. WHIRLPOOL (HONG KONG) LTD

Citation

JERRY CHEN v. WHIRLPOOL (HONG KONG) LTD
Court

Court of Final Appeal
Case number

FACV23/2006

Concurrent factual findings that the driver was reasonably competent were not shown to be exceptional circumstances permitting interference; the appellant's vicarious‑liability arguments raised for the first time on final appeal would constitute a major development of the law and are therefore not entertained; accordingly the appeal is dismissed.
