LINKS INTERNATIONAL RELOCATIONS LTD t/a LINKS RELOCATIONS v. SWIFT CHRISTOPHER LEE
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCMP857/2014

Leave to appeal was refused because the defendant failed to show a reasonable prospect of success: he had not pleaded termination at the A&O meeting, it was too late to rely on the Quotation rate for storage, the judge did not err in implying terms or applying quantum meruit, the lien finding was supported, and the judge properly exercised discretion on amendment; procedural economy and proportionality reinforced refusal and justified barring an oral reconsideration.

Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCA21542/1998

The judge accepted the plaintiffs' unchallenged evidence, found no express contractual term requiring reinstatement after the Malaysia race, found warranty did not cover the Lamborghini parts charged, held retained parts were properly subject to lien, and therefore the 1st Plaintiff was entitled to judgment for the claimed sums with interest and costs; the defendant's counterclaim was dismissed.
