LO FONG HUNG v. FUNG YUEN KWAN, VERONICA AND ANOTHER

Citation

[2022] HKCFI 3788
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCMP2219/2020

The court granted the adjournment of the interim injunction and ordered a preliminary trial on the central issue of whether an oral cooperation agreement existed, and stayed further proceedings (including the injunction summons) because the primary issue is dispositive, the injunction terms were overtaken by subsequent director appointments, the evidence on those appointments was deficient and there was an unacceptable multiplicity of proceedings amounting to abuse of court resources.

FUNG YUEN KWAN, VERONICA v. NEW BRIGHT INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT LTD

Citation

[2022] HKCFI 3788
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCMP1668/2020

The court acceded to the application to adjourn the interim injunction and ordered that a preliminary trial be held to determine whether an oral cooperation agreement existed, and that the proceedings (including the interim injunction summons) be stayed pending that trial, because delay, multiplicity of overlapping proceedings, the appointments of additional directors which overtook the relief sought, and deficient evidence on those appointments made adjudication of the injunction inappropriate at this stage.
