    Citation
    [2023] HKDC 568
    Court
    District Court
    Case number
    DCCJ966/2020

    The summons was adjourned sine die because the bank, a necessary party for an order compelling release of funds, had not been joined or produced up-to-date evidence; given the four-year interval since the bank's last correspondence and the bank's reservation of rights, the court could not assume circumstances remained unchanged and should not make the requested order or declaration without proper evidence or joinder; plaintiff given leave to file further affirmation and liberty to restore the summons.
