    Decision of the High Court of Hong Kong in the case HCCT 83/2025 dated 11 March 2026

    High Court of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Court of First Instance

    Case no.
    HCCT 83/2025
    Citation
    [2026] HKCFI 1437
    Decision summary
    The Court dismissed the Plaintiffs' application to set aside the partial award and final award on costs. It held that the Plaintiffs had a fair opportunity to present their case, that the tribunal's rejection of proposed PRC law expert evidence did not cause a serious denial of justice or material prejudice, and that the awards were not contrary to Hong Kong public policy. The Plaintiffs were ordered to pay the costs of the Originating Summons on an indemnity basis, with a certificate for two counsel.
