- HCA1289/2022
The court dismissed the confidentiality application because disclosure of arbitration-related information in court proceedings to protect or pursue legal rights falls within the statutory and rule-based exception (Arbitration Ordinance s18(2)(a)(i), HKIAC Rules Article 45.3); Kam failed to demonstrate any cogent, additional reasons to displace the fundamental principle of open administration of justice, so closure/redaction was not justified; costs were awarded to the Plaintiff.
