BEST RANK ENGINEERING LTD. v. TAM KAI HING

Citation

BEST RANK ENGINEERING LTD. v. TAM KAI HING
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCA11094/1999

The appeal was allowed because the defendant's pleaded defence—relying on an alleged assurance that earlier vacant possession would be procured and asserting condition precedent/collateral contract or misrepresentation—was not so inherently unbelievable or untenable that summary judgment was appropriate; factual issues must be tried.

STUDIO CICO (a firm) v. YAO KEE TRADING & ENGINEERING CO. (a firm)

Citation

STUDIO CICO (a firm) v. YAO KEE TRADING & ENGINEERING CO. (a firm)
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCA5790/1985

The $20 arithmetical error in the judgment was amendable under the slip rule, but the defendant failed to demonstrate a good arguable defence on the merits and his delay and conduct (including failure to act after being informed and after bailiff attendance) militated against setting aside the default judgment; transportation charges may be pursued as a counterclaim but do not justify setting aside the judgment or a set-off at this stage.
