    Citation
    TAI FOOK FUTURES LTD v. CHEUNG MOON HOI JEFF
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCA9932/1999

    The defendant's applications were dismissed because the technical information and third‑party investigation files sought were irrelevant or unnecessary to fairly dispose of the dispute, the defendant offered no positive basis to show tampering (mere suspicion/fishing), sworn affirmations by plaintiff verifying completeness stand at interlocutory stage, and HKE advised the investigation file and recordings were destroyed; accordingly the summonses failed and the defendant must proceed to exchange witness statements within a fixed short period.
