COURT OF FIRST INSTANCE

ACTION NO. 1981 OF 2020

J U D G M E N T

____________

1.  Before me is the Plaintiff’s summons filed on 14 October 2025 (“the Summons”) for an order under s.25A of the High Court Ordinance that Mr Leung Tsz Him, Gilbert, of the Plaintiff’s solicitor (Zhong Lun Law Firm LLP) be nominated to execute all documents as may reasonably be required to effect transfer of the shares and cash balance held in the Defendant’s account at Quam Securities Ltd (“Quam”) to the Plaintiff. The application is supported by the 36th affidavit of Fung Mr Yau Him Francis (“Fung-36th”).

2.  The sealed copy of the judgment and order dated 26 September 2025 have been served on the Defendant on 30 September 2025 by email (as directed by this Court) and that was deemed good and sufficient service pursuant to paragraph 21 of the written Judgment dated 26 September 2025. The Defendant has not responded within 7 days of service. Pursuant to paragraph 21 of the Judgment, I deal with the Summons on paper.

3.  The Court has ordered the Defendant to execute documents to effect transfer of shares and the cash balance in the Defendant’s account at Quam to the Plaintiff. I am satisfied from reading Fung-36th that the Defendant has neglected or refused to comply with §1.5 of the sealed copy Order or §5 of the sealed copy Judgment, both dated 26 September 2025, despite being served with the Order and the Judgment. This is an appropriate case to exercise my discretion under s.25A of the High Court Ordinance to appoint the Plaintiff’s handling solicitor to execute the necessary documents on behalf of the Defendant. I therefore:

(1) Make an order in terms of paragraph 1 of the Summons;

(2) Vacate the hearing date on 28 November 2025;

(3) Order costs of $54,770 in favour of the Plaintiff, to be borne by the Defendant.
