    Citation
    CHEN LIP KEONG v. EVOLUTION MASTER FUND LTD SPC, SEGREGATED PORTFOLIO M
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCA575/2010

    Summary judgment refused because material factual disputes (notably the validity and terms of the alleged oral Put Option, the calculation and entitlement to default interest and indemnity, and the lawfulness of sub‑mortgaging the charged shares) and complex questions of contractual construction could not be resolved on affidavit evidence; estoppel could not be established as a matter of law on the material before the court and clauses in the Loan Agreement weighed against finding waiver by conduct; accordingly the matter must proceed to trial.
