    Citation
    CHU KAI ON v. CHU KWAN ON AND ANOTHER
    Court
    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACV157/1998

    The application for extension of time to set down the appeal was refused because the delay was a deliberate choice by the appellant, the purported trigger (another decision by the same judge) did not change the law, and the additional evidence proffered was either already before the trial judge or not of significant weight; accordingly no grounds existed to extend time and the application was dismissed with costs.
