    QIYANG LTD AND OTHERS v. MEI LI NEW ENERGY LTD AND OTHERS

    Citation
    QIYANG LTD AND OTHERS v. MEI LI NEW ENERGY LTD AND OTHERS
    Court
    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACV146/2016

    The Court held that To J's decision involved final determinations of substantive issues (including that the share transfer to Rare Earth was a sham and Chung remained beneficial owner, sections 12 and 58 operated to vest interests in the trustees, and the solicitors lacked authority), therefore leave to appeal was not required; the appeal may only proceed if the proper appellant is before the court and, absent Huang applying to be substituted as appellant within 14 days, the appeal will be dismissed with costs.
