Decision of the High Court of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Court of First Instance in the case HCA 2379/2015 dated 15 October 2018
High Court of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Court of First Instance
- Citation
- [2018] HKCFI 2343
- Decision summary
- The Court held that Amadeaus Investment Limited showed good reason to extend the validity of the writ in this Category 2 case, where the claim had become time-barred before the extension application. It held that the difficulty of locating and serving Dr Lin Kao Kun justified exercising the discretion to extend the writ, dismissed Dr Lin's application to set aside the renewal order and service and to dismiss the action, and ordered him to pay the application costs subject to summary assessment.
