Citation

TANG WOUNG SHIU v. TANG KUN YEUNG AND OTHERS

Court of First Instance

The Master did not err in refusing the application for a further and better list because the Plaintiffs failed to demonstrate that the illustrative documents were relevant to the pleaded issues or to identify specific undisclosed documents; discovery cannot be used as a fishing expedition and there was a valid basis for the Master's exercise of discretion, so the appeal is dismissed.
