    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCA2092/2024

    Stay Summons dismissed because the Plaintiff failed to prove an arbitration agreement or entitlement under the Contract (Rights of Third Party) Ordinance (no evidence Qookka's agreement with the Defendant conferred a benefit or treated Plaintiff as party), and the Plaintiff had already made the first statement on the substance of the dispute by pursuing an interim injunction with substantive affidavits, thereby precluding reliance on s20; the discovery application was premature and exceptional circumstances were not shown; costs awarded to Defendant on an indemnity basis, gross HK$200,000.
