THE CHIUS MANUFACTURING COMPANY LTD v. MACKING DEVELOPMENT LTD

Citation

[2024] HKCFI 2436
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCMP538/2022

The originating summons was dismissed because the Plaintiff failed to identify a proper purpose for inspection under s.740, provided only undeveloped allegations of fraud insufficient to justify inspection, and most requested documents had already been provided; therefore the application was not merited and costs were awarded to the Defendant (party-and-party, taxed if not agreed) with indemnity costs refused.
