Citation

[2023] HKCFI 2516
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCA3348/2016

The Stay Summons was dismissed because the appeal was not arguable with reasonable prospects of success given it primarily raised questions of fact with no palpable errors in the trial judge's findings and the Defendant's late and uncredible evidence; alternatively, even if arguable, the Defendant failed to show good reasons or that execution would render the appeal nugatory or be irreparably prejudicial.
