TSE CHUN WAI v. LEUNG KWOK KIN JOSEPH t/a JOSEPH LEUNG & ASSOCIATES
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCA1981/2013

Defendant had earlier admitted possession of the commission/bonus documents yet failed to enumerate them or adequately explain their loss or disposal in the prescribed form; therefore he did not comply with the discovery order and the Master was entitled to find the discovery defective and to exercise discretion to refuse strike out while granting one final opportunity and awarding costs; appeal dismissed.

Citation

CHUN WO BUILDING CONSTRUCTION LTD v. METTA RESOURCES LTD
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCCT29/2013

The court found Chun Wo had made a genuine effort to comply, granted leave to file an amended list and verification was to follow; Metta failed to demonstrate specific, real deficiencies or unfairness from Chun Wo's disclosure, so neither an unless order nor the further and better list was justified.

Citation

CHEUNG PAK CHI CECILIA v. CHU WING LUNG AND ANOTHER
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCA3122/2000

The Master held that the Documents Sought are relevant and discoverable because they relate to two matters in issue: (a) whether the contract ought to be or has been rescinded under Misrepresentation Ordinance s3(2) (which requires the court to consider losses when deciding whether to award damages in lieu of rescission), and (b) the 2nd Defendant's claimed damages/quantum; jurisdictional prerequisites for discovery were met and it was appropriate to exercise discretion to order specific discovery and a further and better list within 14 days.
