Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCMP1847/2020

WHC LTD t/a WINE HIGH CLUB AND OTHERS v. HONG KONG WINE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE LTD AND ANOTHER

Citation

[2019] HKCFI 2548
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCMP758/2019

The court found the exclusion of the 77 new members who had applied and paid before the stated deadline was wrong and sufficiently material to require setting aside the AGM election for the Executive Committee; other complaints (including alleged bad faith and replacement of election helpers) were not made out; the appropriate remedy was to declare the EC election void, order a new AGM/EGM within 60 days and maintain the Old EC (including Ho) until that meeting; costs to be no order nisi.
