GRANT THORNTON INTERNATIONAL LTD AND OTHERS v. TANG CHUNG WAH AND ANOTHER

Citation

GRANT THORNTON INTERNATIONAL LTD AND OTHERS v. TANG CHUNG WAH AND ANOTHER
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACV193/2013

The appeal was dismissed because the defendants could not reopen the Entitlement Issue (the draft agreement was not admissible evidence of executed terms and could have been produced earlier) and the Authority Issue was already finally determined against them by earlier concurrent findings, so res judicata barred re-litigation and no triable issues existed to defeat summary judgment or the case management order.

HUI KEE CHUN v. THE PRIVACY COMMISSIONER FOR PERSONAL DATA

Citation

HUI KEE CHUN v. THE PRIVACY COMMISSIONER FOR PERSONAL DATA
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACV401/2007

The application for a stay of execution was refused because the appellant failed to demonstrate a high prospect of success on appeal or that enforcement of the costs order would render the appeal nugatory; financial hardship alone did not justify a stay, and the proposed amendment to the claim was not before the court.
