The following cases were recently reported by the Hon Mr Justice Bokhary. See below for His Lordship’s remarks and observations by way of Editor’s Notes.

Tam Yuk Fun Toffee v Secretary for Civil Service [2024] 3 HKLRD 528

“The most important part of this judgment consists of what is said as to why Ground 3 succeeded.”

CCMD Overseas Ltd v Sinom Investments Ltd [2024] 3 HKLRD 579

“It will be observed that on the facts the Judge, while applying the Cukurova approach in preference to the Fatupaito approach, would have arrived at the same result even if her preference had been the other way round.”

Poon Lo Wah Laura v Poon Yuet Wah [2024] 3 HKLRD 604

“The judgment contains a statement of the relevant legal principles, and illustrates their application.”

HKSAR v Lim Hua Soon [2024] 3 HKLRD 795

“It is unusual, but not unprecedented, to report a single judge’s refusal of leave to appeal. The passage of time has made it unlikely that this leave application will be renewed. What the Single Judge said is therefore unlikely to come before the Court of Appeal itself. And what he said is worthy of careful note.”

Wisdom Wealth Resources Investment Holding Group Ltd v Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Ltd [2024] 3 HKLRD 803

“This judgment illustrates the importance of proper public disclosure as an enforcement objective under the Listing Rules.”

HKSAR v Conte Gaoussou [2024] 3 HKLRD 841

“This was a case of a person who had, but ceased to have, legal representation. And the fourth holding above goes to the relevance of that.”
