ZXW v. PKP

Citation

[2020] HKFC 21
Court

Family Court
Case number

FCMC747/2018

The court rejected the father's mere say‑so that family support had ceased, found on the evidence that he continued to have access to family resources (including ability to borrow) and accordingly concluded he could afford higher interim maintenance; awarded monthly MPS of HK$9,400 to the mother and HK$51,700 to the children (HK$25,850 each), ordered those sums to be back‑dated to 1 February 2018 with a lump‑sum payment for the back‑dated period (credit for sums paid from 25 January 2019), and ordered costs in favour of the mother.

Citation

OCEANIC GROUP PTE LTD AND ANOTHER v. The owners and/or demise charterers of the ship or vessel “ORIENTAL DRAGON”
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCAJ162/2012

The court held that, on the evidence available at the ex parte stage, the plaintiffs' claims were substantially in rem under s12A(2)(l) and (o) HCO but certain items were not: insurance premiums were not in rem and payment in lieu of notice was not a maritime supply; the disbursements element of management fees and the basis for crew wage claims were insufficiently explained at ex parte stage but overall did not justify discharging the warrant or setting aside the writ; security in court should be reduced to reflect non in rem elements.
