AKPEGNON KUEVI v. TORTURE CLAIMS APPEAL BOARD [Decision on Leave Application]

Citation

[2018] HKCFI 667
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCAL611/2017

Leave was refused because the applicant failed to show an arguable case with a realistic prospect of success: the Board afforded ample opportunity to produce evidence, the applicant disobeyed directions and delayed production of documents, and there was no breach of procedural fairness or Wednesbury unreasonableness in the Adjudicator's decision.

CHAN SING CHUEN v. YUNG MEI CHUN

Citation

CHAN SING CHUEN v. YUNG MEI CHUN
Court

District Court
Case number

DCCJ15756/2000

On the balance of probabilities the Court preferred the Plaintiff's account: the Defendant was held to have agreed to trade and to have dealt with the Plaintiff's funds; contemporaneous documentary material (emails admittedly from Defendant, deposit forms, cheques) and inherent probabilities (Defendant's financial expertise, timing and conduct) supported Plaintiff; late disclosure and implausibilities in the Husband's evidence and notebook meant his account was rejected; judgment awarded to Plaintiff for HK$135,000 plus interest and costs.
