Amendments pleading illegality were refused. The HOA was not ex facie illegal, there was no evidence before the court to establish illegality (notably no proof of Taiwan/Hong Kong tax breaches), illegality cannot be adjudicated on unpleaded or incomplete facts, and permitting the late, new case would cause serious, non-compensable prejudice and delay; responsive and minor tidy-up amendments were allowed and costs reserved.
