Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCA49/2018

Leave granted because the updated estate accounts and bank statements relate to matters in issue — in particular allegations of misappropriation and failure to account by the executor — and may be material to the Plaintiff's defence and to the court's exercise of discretion on ordering accounts; relevance can be tested at trial.

PANG CHUN KWONG v. PANG HANG LAU

Citation

PANG CHUN KWONG v. PANG HANG LAU
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCMP2352/2012

Because the plaintiff obtained substantially what he sought (substantive disclosure and accounts) and the defendant had delayed provision of documents, the court departed from the usual rule and ordered the defendant to pay the costs of the originating summons to the plaintiff to be taxed on a party-and-party basis if not agreed; indemnity costs were not justified on the evidence.
