    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCCL57/1999

    Summary judgment was refused because (1) there were substantial disputed facts on the critical issue of the defendant's knowledge of a tax liability that cannot be resolved summarily, (2) the statutory remedy under Companies Ordinance s.276 provides the proper single procedural route for misfeasance claims and should not be bypassed by an Order 14 application, and (3) the case centrally involves allegations of dishonesty which require full trial and are unsuitable for summary disposal.
