“the jury trial application was made within the time prescribed by Ord 33 r 5(1) (when read together with Ord 34 r 2(1)) (para 10(3) and 10(8)(a) above);”
“defence counsel who appeared at the PTR (and who has no previous defamation litigation experience either) informed that he had no instruction to conduct the trial, and was unable to inform who trial defence counsel would be. Further, he moved back and forth between whether senior counsel would be engaged and the defendant having only limited fund to litigate;”
Dated the 14th day of March 2017.

Clerk to Hon Chung J
