Reasons for Decision of the Court of First Instance of the High Court of Hong Kong in HCCT 221/2025 dated 5 June 2026
Court of First Instance of the High Court of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region
- Citation
- [2026] HKCFI 3293
- Decision summary
- The Court dismissed E's application to set aside the HKIAC final award, with costs on an indemnity basis. It held that any issue estoppel arising from the Mainland decision concerned the merits or admissibility of N's claims rather than the tribunal's jurisdiction; the tribunal had dealt with the termination issue; and there was no public-policy basis to refuse enforcement. The Court held that the tribunal's findings on the contractual vanadium and sodium specifications and N's termination under clause 21 were not reviewable as alleged errors on the merits.
