Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCA2145/1996

Master Jennings was correct not to strike out the re-amended statement of claim except that paragraph 16 must be refused because it is unparticularised; the claim against the 3rd Defendant is struck out for lack of interest; declaratory relief against defendants is permissible without joining United Airlines where defendants assert an ownership claim; the availability of damages for conversion on pleaded facts was not finally determined and therefore not struck out.

Citation

CHUNG KI LEUNG AND OTHERS v. ATTORNEY GENERAL AND ANOTHER
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACV96/1990
