Judgment of the Court of Final Appeal of Hong Kong in FACV No. 14 of 2017 dated 11 April 2018
Court of Final Appeal of Hong Kong
- Citation
- [2018] HKCFA 12
- Decision summary
- The Court unanimously allowed First Media's appeal, set aside the orders below, and extended by three months the time to apply for leave to set aside the Hong Kong enforcement orders and judgment. It held that the absence of a valid arbitration agreement between First Media and the additional parties was a fundamentally important factor and that the lower courts had applied the discretionary test inappropriately.
