    YAU NGAI AND OTHERS v. YAU TAK AND OTHERS

    Citation
    YAU NGAI AND OTHERS v. YAU TAK AND OTHERS
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCA1309/2007

    The application to set aside leave was dismissed because the defendants failed to establish material non-disclosure: the plaintiffs' ex parte case focused on specific internet breaches, the defendants did not prove the plaintiffs knew of the alleged rectifying steps or non-involvement of certain defendants online, factual disputes existed about internet changes, and the breaches could not be characterised as trivial on the material before the court; particulars were sufficient for each defendant to know the allegations.
