YUEN PUI MAN ELLEN v. MAJESTIC FURNITURE & INTERIOR DESIGN LTD
Court

District Court
Case number

DCPI1960/2011

The summons to set aside the judgment was dismissed because it was filed without any supporting affirmation or explanation by the solicitors on record and because the solicitors' leave to cease to act had not taken effect until certification was filed; the court would not compel privileged communications and therefore could not be satisfied as to the application’s merits, warranting dismissal and an award of indemnity costs against the defendant.
