    AU KAM YU v. CHUNG SEN AUCTIONEERS LTD.
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCA1371/1998

    The application was dismissed because the Defendant failed to provide a satisfactory explanation for delays (transfer of documents, late claim of need for experts contrary to the signed Check List, and failure to serve a subpoena), and any further delay would prejudice the Plaintiff; therefore the court refused to exercise its discretion to remove the action from the Warned List and awarded costs to the Plaintiff.
