Court of First Instance
Case number

HCSA44/2020

No arguable point of law was identified; the Deputy Adjudicator acted within jurisdiction in dismissing the application to set aside the default judgment given the defendant's unexplained failure to attend and lack of any meritorious defence; therefore leave to appeal under s28 is refused.

COMBAT THEATRE LTD v. JOE\'S PARADISE LTD
Court

District Court
Case number

DCCJ4015/2001

The defendant is liable for the storage charges because the defendant deposited the firearms with the plaintiff, the defendant's managing director (Mr Ho) failed to disclose the arrangements to the plaintiff's other directors, his evidence was inconsistent and unconvincing, there was no reliable proof of an agreement to waive fees or to transfer the deal to the plaintiff, and therefore the storage was at the defendant's expense; award of $254,700 with interest and costs follows.
