    Citation
    MOHAMMAD ARIF v. HING LEE CONSTRUCTION (INTERNATIONAL) LTD AND ANOTHER
    Court
    District Court
    Case number
    DCEC825/2005

    Because the case was at commencement and parties were prepared to follow directions for general discovery, and there had been no prior proper request for the documents sought, the court found the specific discovery application premature; ordered the applicant to disclose the Princess Margaret and Tuen Mun Hospital records within 21 days, dismissed the application as to those hospitals, adjourned the remainder of the application sine die, and awarded costs of the hearing to the applicant.
