Judgment of the High Court of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Court of First Instance in the case HCCT 26/2014 dated 16 December 2016
High Court of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Court of First Instance
- Citation
- HCCT 26/2014
- Decision summary
- The court held that the Incorporated Owners of Connie Towers repudiated the construction contract by indefinitely suspending the works, seeking material omissions, and insisting on a reduced contract sum. Ipson Renovation Limited accepted the repudiation by its 19 July 2013 letter and, at the latest, by its notice of arbitration. The court dismissed the counterclaim, found that Ipson Renovation Limited was not in breach for failing to resume the works in January 2014, gave the parties liberty to apply for directions on damages, and ordered costs in favour of Ipson Renovation Limited subject to taxation if not agreed.
