Citation

GEOGLOBAL PARTNERS, LLC v. PEAKTOP TECHNOLOGIES (USA) HONG KONG LTD AND ANOTHER
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCCW87/2007

The amendments were allowed because they did not introduce new causes of action but added further facts to existing complaints: the removal of the petitioner’s nominated directors formalised an exclusion from management already alleged in the petition, and the subsequent developments in the inspection proceedings were relevant updates to the denial-of-access complaint and necessary for the court to assess the just and equitable question at the time of hearing.

KA WAH CONTAINER STORAGE LTD v. SUPER EASTERN LTD AND OTHERS

Citation

KA WAH CONTAINER STORAGE LTD v. SUPER EASTERN LTD AND OTHERS
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCCW238/2006

Application refused because the court would not permit the petitioner to broaden the petitionary attack by filing an affirmation that introduces facts not pleaded (such matters should be introduced by amending the petition), because the application was made too late and would prejudice the trial timetable and require additional contested procedures, and because the specific allegation of connection between Era and the respondent was vague and speculative; the court exercised its discretion to refuse the late filing.
