Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACV218/2014

Leave to commence committal proceedings was refused because the plaintiff's complaints involved substantial delay, failed to present a sufficiently strong case that alleged statements were knowingly false and caused serious prejudice, and many allegations were ineffective or remediable by other means, so committal was not justified.

Citation

ZEBRA INDUSTRIES (OROGENESIS NOVA) LTD - [ZION] v. WAH TONG PAPER PRODUCTS GROUP LTD
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCMP436/2013

Leave to commence committal proceedings was refused because the plaintiff unreasonably delayed bringing the application causing prejudice, there was insufficient established evidence that sworn statements were knowingly false (issues remained to be tried at trial), an arbitration and awards had been conducted subsequently making contempt for non‑referral futile, and the public interest did not justify granting leave.
