    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCMP1503/2014

    Leave to appeal was refused because the judge below exercised legitimate case management in striking out the Reply Affirmation save for Exhibit 3 which bore direct relevance to economic duress; the plaintiff failed to show a reasonable prospect of success on appeal or that it was denied a fair opportunity to present its case, and the Court of Appeal would also refuse leave on the separate ground that the plaintiff company was unrepresented without a representation order; the court further invoked Order 59, rule 2A(8) to bar an oral reconsideration application.
