The court refused summary judgment and declined to determine the legal question under Order 14A because the defendant’s proposed defence—that the uncertain tenancy might be treated as a life tenancy or otherwise raises a real and non‑frivolous point about the applicability of Berrisford in Hong Kong’s leasehold regime—is arguable and requires mature consideration at trial; accordingly the defendant is given unconditional leave to defend and procedural directions were made.
