    LO KA CHUN v. LO TO AND ANOTHER
    Court
    Court of First Instance

    HCA2015/1980

    Leave to amend was granted because the proposed particulars were not immaterial or useless in law and at least one particular (the written undertaking) was arguably sufficient to found a plea that the 2nd defendant was 'well aware' of a trust; the amendment was sought before evidence and with prior notice so no undue prejudice arose, subject to removal of wording implying an alternative distinct case and subject to the usual costs order that the plaintiff pay costs occasioned by the amendment.
