- HCA527/2010
The court held that the impugned paragraphs comprised mediation communications inadmissible without leave under section 9 of the Mediation Ordinance; Ms Ng was not an agent of the plaintiffs and therefore the mediation and subsequent Agreement did not bind the plaintiffs; and statements made during negotiations cannot be used to reinterpret an entire agreement. Accordingly the paragraphs were expunged and the defendants' attempt to plead and adduce evidence based on them was dismissed.
