DCCJ5350/2017

Applicant failed to file the ordered objections within the 14‑day period and was therefore treated as having no opposition; applying the appellate guidance on summary assessment the court found the third defendant's bill of costs not disproportionate overall and awarded a reasonable lump sum by way of summary assessment: HKD 42,000.

KONEW FINANCIAL EXPRESS LTD v. HO WAI CHEONG

Citation

KONEW FINANCIAL EXPRESS LTD v. HO WAI CHEONG
Court

District Court
Case number

DCCJ2032/2013

The out‑of‑time appeal was dismissed because the appellant offered no satisfactory explanation for the long delay, the fresh evidence failed to meet the Ladd v Marshall criteria, and the substantive challenges (characterisation as a mortgage and applicability of s17B) were unpersuasive; procedural non‑compliance did not render the proceedings void and did not justify setting aside the orders; DCMP 572/2014 remains unaffected.
