    Citation
    [2023] HKCFI 2238
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCA35/2023

    The appeal was dismissed because the statement of claim disclosed no reasonable cause of action, repeated matters already finally determined in HCA 2769 (constituting an abuse of process under Henderson v Henderson), included allegations barred by absolute privilege, and contained claims that were time‑barred or lacked any factual particulars; accordingly the claims against the defendant were struck out and costs awarded to the defendant.
