ELITE DRAGON LTD v. BEL GLOBAL RESOURCES HOLDINGS LTD
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCCL8/2014

The order nisi made on 25 April 2017 became absolute 14 days after pronouncement (9 May 2017) under O42 r5B(6) because no application to vary was made within that period and no extension was sought under O3 r5; consequently the court had no basis to vary the order and, alternatively, even if jurisdiction existed the court refused to order indemnity costs against Elite because the substantive culpability lay with Stephen who had been discontinued.

The Court refused to reopen or set aside any part of its judgment and refused to admit the further evidence because no wholly exceptional circumstances were shown; allegations of fraud must be pursued by fresh proceedings with proper particularisation and opportunity for oral evidence and cross-examination; the agreed perfected order was approved and the cross-appeal dismissed; costs awarded to the respondents.
