HO KWOK WA v. YIP YUK KWAN AND ANOTHER
- Citation
- [2020] HKCFI 2930
- Court
- Court of First Instance
- Case number
- HCA1096/2013
The Master lacked jurisdiction to try the Preliminary Issue because there was no consent of the parties as required by RHC Order 36 r.1; consequently the appeal challenging the Master's jurisdiction properly lay to the Court of First Instance and the Master's order of 8 April 2019 was set aside. RHC O.58 r.2 is limited to substantive appeals from trials by a Master conducted with the parties' consent and does not oust the CFI's jurisdiction to hear jurisdictional challenges.
