HCA 599/2022 [2022] HKCFI 2101 IN THE HIGH COURT OF THE HONG KONG SPECIAL ADMINISTRATIVE REGION COURT OF FIRST INSTANCE ACTION NO 599 OF 2022 ________________________ BETWEEN
________________________ Before: Mr Recorder Manzoni SC in Chambers Date of Hearing: 8 July 2022 Date of Decision: 8 July 2022 ________________________ DECISION ________________________ 1.This is the Plaintiff’s application by way of summons dated 28 June 2022 for an order that:
2.It is clear from the evidence that the defendant has taken no part in this action, which concerns an alleged email fraud which are unfortunately familiar to these courts. The Plaintiff in this case has been somewhat successful in recovering approximately 60% of the amount that it was persuaded to pay out initially. It seeks now to discharge the injunctions obtained and to discontinue the action, with no order as to costs, on the basis that a continuation of the action is not commercially viable given that it has recovered significant sums, and there may be little prospect of recovering more. 3.To make these orders requires an exercise of the discretion of the court. 4.Having considered the evidence and having regard to what I have set out above, I am satisfied that it is appropriate for the court to make the orders sought. Hence, I make an order in terms of the draft which has been produced by the Plaintiff.
