Citation

[2020] HKCFI 1422
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCIP29/2019

The court refused the O14A application and refused a preliminary issue trial because the issues framed involve substantial disputes of mixed law and fact (including foreign law and technical factual issues), and determining them summarily would be inappropriate and inefficient; the s275 locus preliminary trial would not significantly advance or dispose of the litigation and could cause duplication and delay. Costs ordered against the 1st and 2nd Defendants.

NAGRAVISION SA v. ZHUHAI GOTECH INTELLIGENT TECHNOLOGY CO LTD AND OTHERS
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCA2297/2016

The Mareva injunction was continued and Fullbox's discharge application dismissed because the court concluded the US default judgment is likely enforceable in Hong Kong, the plaintiff has at least a good arguable case, evidence demonstrates substantial receipts into the Fullbox account that are likely defendants' funds, there is a real risk of dissipation if not restrained, there was no material non-disclosure at the ex parte stage, and the balance of convenience favoured maintaining the injunction; Fullbox was also properly joined as a necessary party to the action.
