CHAN NGAI SING v. RUBBER TECH INDUSTRIAL LTD

Citation

CHAN NGAI SING v. RUBBER TECH INDUSTRIAL LTD
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCA625/2007

The appeal is dismissed because, except for the 2002/2003 interim dividend which was found plainly not to have been declared/paid, it was not plain and obvious that the plaintiff's claim was abusive or statute-barred; factual disputes and accounting issues required further inquiry and therefore the action should not have been struck out on paper.

CONCORDE CONSTRUCTION COMPANY LIMITED v. COLGAN COMPANY LIMITED AND ANOTHER

Citation

CONCORDE CONSTRUCTION COMPANY LIMITED v. COLGAN COMPANY LIMITED AND ANOTHER
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCCL36/1984

The applicant failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that either director wilfully refused or neglected to obey the mandatory injunction; Colgan's proven insolvency and lack of means meant there was no contempt and the veil should not be lifted to compel the parent or directors to provide funds.
