SHENZHEN FUTAIHONG PRECISION INDUSTRY CO LTD AND OTHERS v. BYD CO LTD AND OTHERS

Citation

SHENZHEN FUTAIHONG PRECISION INDUSTRY CO LTD AND OTHERS v. BYD CO LTD AND OTHERS
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCA2114/2007

Leave to appeal was granted because the court found that the Foxconn Parties demonstrated a reasonable prospect of success on appeal: doubts exist whether the pleaded allegations (a) disclose an actionable cause of unlawful interference in the absence of pleaded loss or successful result, and (b) are duplicative of the BYD Parties' libel and slander counterclaim; these are matters suitable for appellate consideration rather than premature strike out.

GAN FOCK WAI, STEPHEN v. HKSAR

Citation

GAN FOCK WAI, STEPHEN v. HKSAR
Court

Court of Final Appeal
Case number

FAMC7/2009

The court held that trying the two charges together was within accepted norms, that the evidence on the first charge could not have improperly affected assessment of the driver’s credibility on the second charge, and that the driver’s evidence was properly accepted and sufficed to support the conviction; consequently there was no basis for an appeal and leave was refused.
